Don't go burying those Kevin Love to Boston rumors just yet.
According to ESPN's Chad Ford, the Celtics' may have the best trade offer for Minnesota Timberwolves forward Kevin Love.
Ford writes that the Celtics are "trying real hard" to use this year's 6th and 17th overall picks, future first-round draft picks and young players such as Jared Sullinger and Kelly Olynyk in a package to bring Love to Boston.
This report comes after ESPN Boston's Jackie MacMullan wrote on June 5 that Minnesota was "less than enamored" with Boston's proposal.
The Love rumors have cooled a bit since Timberwolves team president Flip Saunders named himself head coach. Many believe Saunders named himself coach in part to make a better effort to keep Love with the franchise.
However, Ford writes, "One source close to the Wolves said that while Saunders does not want to trade Love, he realizes the team likely will lose him this summer and the package the Celtics are offering is probably the best he's going to get."
No deal is expected to take place until the NBA Draft, which is June 26.
