The latest rumor is simply a throw-in comment confirming that the Celtics made an offer for Kevin Love at the trade deadline. The only new news, which isn't particularly surprising, is that the offer was of the "low-ball" variety.
If they lose again, I'd bet big on Love being elsewhere -- a split that might end up the best thing for everyone. Cleveland and Boston had trade talks for Love at the deadline, though they died with Boston offering a low-ball package the Cavs wouldn't consider, according to several league sources. Even if Boston's interest has faded, someone will call Cleveland about Love around the draft.
