“Boston made an offer for Love at the deadline, sources have told ESPN.com, and though the Cavs found it (dissatisfying),” Lowe wrote, “the Celtics may call again if other stars higher on their list aren’t available.”
In a column about the Eastern Conference Finals, why did Lowe bring up the possibility again? Over the last two games, both Cleveland losses, Love did not step on the court during either fourth quarter. A tweaked knee had something to do with the Game 4 benching, but still, it’s tough to justify paying a man more than $20 million per season when he sits during crunch-time.
