Though the Celtics spent Thursday discussing a trade with the Pacers for Paul George, Brian Scalabrine still has designs on the C’s getting Kevin Love.
Scalabrine says he could imagine the Celtics landing Love from the Cavaliers in a three-way deal that would sent George to the Cleveland. He noted that Love won’t be as difficult to acquire as he was when Cleveland traded for him in 2014, though he said he wasn’t sure if Boston would have to include recently drafted third overall pick Jayson Tatum.
With that said, Scalabrine intimated that the sides have the assets that a deal between the teams would make sense.

“I’m saying, we’d all look at the deal and be like, ‘Yeah. All right,'” Scalabrine said.
A four-time All-Star, Love will turn 29 in September.
