The Celtics tried and failed to woo Kevin Love to Boston last season, but perhaps they'll have better luck the second time around.



Everybody remember's Love's trip to Boston, him checking out the city and taking in the Red Sox game.



We also remember Rajon Rondo popping in and saying a few words to him at Fenway Park.



While Rondo's recruiting efforts fell short, perhaps Brad Stevens' can strike a chord.



Yahoo Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski discussed Love on Yahoo Sports Radio's The Jason McIntyre Show and Love's plans to "look around" at potential suitors this offseason, including the Celtics.



“I think he’s going to look closely at Boston," Wojnarowski said. "I think he’ll look at LA. I’m sure the Texas teams are going to try and get involved."



Love was traded to the Cavaliers last offseason once LeBron James signed with the team. But he never seemed to really fit in there, on or off the court. Going from "the guy" in Minnesota to a clear third (or sometimes forgotten) option in Cleveland was a tough transition, and Cavs head coach David Blatt struggled with ways to utilize Love's talents.

His numbers dipped to 16.4 points and 9.7 rebounds per game in the 2014-15 season.



The Cavs also didn't seem to miss Love much once he went down in Game 4 of the first round of the playoffs. The Cavs then beat the Bulls and Hawks to advance to the NBA Finals all without Love.



The question for Love is whether or not he wants to stick around for one more season with the Cavs and join a free agent class with a bigger salary cap, or get out of there now and start anew with a team that has a bigger role ready for him.



That's where the Celtics can swoop in.



Boston has no legitimate superstar right now. They have a few young, promising players, Isaiah Thomas, and the salary cap space to offer Love a max deal and the feature role that he wants. They also have Stevens' smarts as a head coach.



Wojnarowski called Love joining the Celtics a “real, legitimate possibility”.



“I think Boston would be interesting, because Stevens and Danny Ainge are a very interesting recruiting duo to sell him on how they’d use him there,” Wojnarowski said.



Free agency begins at 12:01 a.m. on July 1.
