Which of the following do you think is most likely to happen this summer? (Not what you want to happen, but your prediction of what you think will happen):

Man, who has any clue with all the swirl of rumors? But I sense that Danny Ainge is the hungriest to add Love, and also has a nice combo platter of players, expirings and picks, so I voted "none of the above". Ainge needs a top 10 player to pair with Rondo, and Love's "vacation" in Boston signaled that he might be interested in re-upping there too.

Ugh, getting tired of the Love thing dragging out and rehashing all of the different trade scenarios.

I have no idea what will happen at this point, so I won't vote.

I'd prefer the Bulls trade, which yields us two established vets that are plus-level players and one prospect that can shoot the hell out of the ball.

I voted none of the above because I also see him going to Boston. Ainge wants him and actually has the assets to get it done.

I should have added the Celtic option. Smart, Olynyk, Jeff Green and two or three future first round picks would be acceptable to me.

In regards to the Celts, can anybody explain to me the trade exception they received from Washington today. How can it be used? Could it be included in a deal to us? Would it have any value for us?

Can Ricky and Smart play together like Bledsoe and Dragic? I like Boston's draft picks more so than just about any team likely to trade with us, so I wouldn't be upset if we got at least two unprotected firsts of either Boston or Nets.

It's a damn shame, because I greatly admire both players, but honestly, that backcourt might be dead last in FG%

I believe it would potentially allow the Celtics to take back more salary from the Wolves in a trade.

If there ends up being a deal with Boston I'd bank on a 3rd team being involved. One that would take Smart and send something else to the Wolves.

If we were going to do something like that we should have just taken MCW in last year's draft.
