They drafted a PG and a big man to replace a wing. Sure.
Langford and Grant Williams are wings

Kevin Love isn’t close to Kawhi, PG, or AD and is not putting Boston over the top while giving up Jaylen Brown. This trade makes no sense for Boston and it’s unrealistic to me. Weren’t you trying to trade Love for Indiana pick which was in the teens? Now you think Boston is going to give you Brown and Memphis pick unprotected which could very well be a top 5 pick for Kevin Love? I mean I’d love it, but I don’t think it’s realistic at all.This line of thinking is exactly why BOS is where they are at right now. Jimmy Butler, Paul George, Kawhi Leonard, DeMarcus Cousins, Anthony Davis, Kevin Love. BOS signed Gordon Hayward to a max deal when they already had Brown and Tatum. Now they can't trade Jaylen Brown because he's a building block? Sure. Slide his ass over here for Kevin Love and finally cash in on your assets Danny Ainge. The best part is Love is locked up for at least 3 more years so they know if they give up any valuable assets like Brown and the MEM pick they won't get burned like they did with Kyrie.

ETA: I see now. You’re betting Hayward comes back to life and they trade Brown to us. Sign me up. I’ll hush.
My bad. Still don’t really see how he’s a replacement for Brown, but anywaySince when is Romeo Langford a PG? He's a SG/SF. They did draft two PGs in the 2nd round with Carsen Edwards and Waters from LSU.
I tend to agree. Danny Ainge is becoming notorious for overvaluing his assets and over-playing his hand. That said, I don’t think Boston would trade Brown for Love. I think Danny Ainge would prefer to acquire a younger veteran than Love in any trade. If reports are accurate, Boston is going to try to sign Nik Vucevic in free agency.Boston is not trading Jaylen Brown for Kevin Love. Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum are their two building blocks for when Kyrie and Al Horford leaves. I think realistically, the Cavs could get Romeo Langford or the Memphis pick, but not both. Nobody giving up all that for Kevin Love.
It’s not just last season. Love has battled injuries his entire career. Over his 11 year career, he has played in an average of 59 regular season games out of 82 or 72%. When healthy, he is a good player who has produced career averages of 18.3 PPG and 11.3 RPG.Before the tank season, Kevin Love played an average of 83.5 games per season as a Cavalier, including the playoffs. So no, I reject your fraudulent premise. When a team is tanking and tells their star player to take a surgery that he wouldn't bother taking if the franchise were contending, you cannot and should not hold it against his body of work beforehand.
He would be the starting SG and Sexton would be 6th manBut why? Where does he fit short term or long term?
