If the Celtics really want Love, they would have to give up a ton including one of those valuable Brooklyn Nets draft picks. Avery Bradley is a perfect fit player who can defend and shoot. Jae Crowder would be the Cavs version of Draymond Green. Both would be great help against the Warriors. Tyler Zeller is known by Cavs fans but he has improved since his time in Cleveland and would help in the post. R.J. Hunter is a young shooter to replace the hope that was Joe Harris.

The Cavs can then move the Nets draft pick and the big TPE in another deal to bring in more talent. Hunter and/or Zeller could also be used to sweeten deals. The Cavs could quickly upgrade their depth and fit with a move like this.

For the Celtics, that is a lot of assets to trade but, with their stockpile of guards and draft picks, might be worth it. Often you have to overpay to get a star in this league. If Love really is their focus, this deal would get them Love while keeping enough assets to add to their team. With a great coach like Brad Stevens, Boston could be a quick threat to the Cavs down the road.
