Despite Woj's speculation, Kelly Olynyk didn't cost the Boston Celtics a chance at Kevin Love

Kevin Love could have serious interest in joining the Boston Celtics this summer, according to a report by Yahoo's Adrian Wojnarowski. The NBA insider said Monday morning that Danny Ainge was waiting until July to "lay out Love's expanded role in the system" and to "sell Love on a vision for surrounding him with complementary talent, on maximizing his popularity as New England's next star."

Woj's report didn't even mention that one of Love's close long-time friends is Isaiah Thomas, which makes his rumored interest in the Celtics even more intriguing.

Thomas and Love have been friends since sixth grade when they met playing basketball in the Portland AAU circuit.
