Blakely: Love deal “unlikely” without third team

Share

A. Sherrod Blakely joined SportsNet Central to discuss the latest on the Kevin Love rumors.

Unfortunately for the Celtics, a deal is "unlikely," according to Blakely, unless "the Celtics can get a third team to jump in and help Cleveland get some assets that they could really use, and use immediately.”

The Celtics do have the assets to make that happen. It's just about finding the right dance partner to make it work.

“If you’re the Boston Celtics, you have the potential to meet just about any asking price another team has because of your young players, your picks, your assets across the board," said Blakely. "But it’s about the Cleveland Cavaliers and whether they have the desire to do this deal. A straight-up deal with Boston does not move them any closer to being a title wining team."
