Word came down Monday that Brad Stevens and Co. had no plans to blow up the Celtics via a trade involving Jayson Tatum and/or Jaylen Brown.
So, where does that leave them? Well, Tyler Devitte, a co-host on 'The Producers Show', might have an answer.
Devitte proposes the following deal with the Cavaliers:
Celtics get: Kevin Love, future first-round pick swap.
Cavs get: Al Horford, Dennis Schroder.
The 33-year-old Love has seen his minutes dwindle to just 21.6 per game (he averages 31.3 for his career). But the intriguing skill-set is still there, with the forward totaling 14.1 points and 7.6 rebounds per game.
Love, who makes just more than $31 million this year, will be under team control through the 2022-23 season, when he is due to haul in slightly under $29 million.
One interesting part of Love's game that could absolutely help the Celtics is a three-point shooting ability that is more reliable this season (41.7 percent) than at any time in his career.
The deal would bolster a Cavaliers team that currently sits in the Eastern Conference's No. 6 spot, with both Schroder (who is on a one-year deal) and Horford turning in solid seasons while exhibiting specific value.
Schroder adds scoring punch, managing 16.2 points per game this season, while Horford has supplied a steady presence (11.1 points, 7.6 rebounds per game) with his inside-outside game.
