Via Real GM (by way of CBS Sports):
Danny Ainge attend a workout with Excel Sports Management clients in New York City recently and met with prominent agent Jeff Schwartz, a league source told RealGM’s Andrew Perna. Schwartz represents Love, as well as Harrison Barnes, who will be a restricted free agent this summer.
Brandon Ingram, the presumed No. 2 pick in next week’s draft is also a client of Excel, but Ainge is believed to have inquired with Schwartz about whether a trade for Love could be revisited. The Celtics hold the third, 16th and 23rd picks in the draft, as well as five second-round picks. The Celtics have already been linked to Jimmy Butler of the Chicago Bulls in rumors.
Love does not have a no-trade clause in his contract but I doubt Danny Ainge would pursue a deal if Kevin wasn’t 100% in favor of a move. It’s become painfully obvious that you just can’t throw Love on a team and expect him to put up 20 and 10.
Jeff Schwartz also represents Paul Pierce. Hmm…
