Kevin Love is visiting Boston this weekend, hanging out at bars near TD Garden, fraternizing with New England Patriots players and walking the streets of the city.

Love took a picture with a Harvard graduate on Saturday that went viral on the Internet. He is also expected to attend the Red Sox game on Sunday.

Love, 25, has one more season left on his contract and his representatives have reportedly told the Minnesota Timberwolves their desire for a trade. The Boston Celtics are believed to be a suitor for Love.

When approached at a local hotel, Love said, “I’m sorry man, I can’t do nothing [in terms of talking], I can’t.”

Love averaged 26.1 points, 12.5 rebounds, and 4.4 assists this season. He said during NBA All-Star weekend that he was intrigued by Boston, impressed with Brad Stevens but was unfamiliar with the city.

“I’ve never really spent much time in Boston. I don’t know it too well,” Love said in February. “But I think as far as playing there, we love competing against those guys. I think they have a great coach and they have a ton of youngsters that are up-and-comers.

“Boston is a great city. I’m sure free agents would love to go there, especially with Stevens as a coach. He’s a guy that can win basketball games. He gets guys to play for him. They’ve been having good success there, even in his first year, and he has a lot of young players. The coach has a lot to do with it, but yeah, Boston is a great place.”

Steve Kerr denied giving Phil Jackson a verbal commitment to become head coach of the New York Knicks before backing out when the Golden State Warriors' job became available.

"We were very close, but we never agreed to a contract,” Kerr told the Daily News Saturday night before working Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals for TNT. "We didn't have a handshake agreement or anything like that. But I did think I was going to go there. And I think Phil and I both thought it was going to happen.”

Kerr and Jackson had many phone conversations about the Knicks and he admitted that he may have strongly intimated that he would accept the job.

“I’m not upset he expressed it that way,” Kerr said. “I’m OK with that. But in the end, Phil knew I wasn't quite comfortable and he didn't hold me to any of our conversations. That's what is great about dealing with Phil. There was no pressure on me to take the job. He reiterated to me, ‘You need to feel good about this. You need to make sure of it.' That's why he didn't make a fuss about it, when I wanted to speak with Golden State.”

Moustapha Diagne has committed to Syracuse as a member of the 2015 class.

Every major recruiting website gives Diagne a four-star rating. He is ranked 24th in the nation by Scout.com, 28th by Rivals.com, and 29th by ESPN.com.

The New York Knicks will attempt to trade for a second round draft pick by purchasing a selection.

Phil Jackson cited the Milwaukee Bucks and Philadelphia 76ers are possible trade targets because those teams own multiple picks in the draft.

Jackson said the Knicks will not get in "a bidding war."

“Teams do sell draft picks," Jackson said. "If teams are willing to allow us to buy a draft pick for a player we want to have at a position, we’ll do it.’’

Adrian Griffin will interview a second time for the Utah Jazz's head coach opening in the next week, according to sources.

The Jazz could be near the end of their coaching search, with multiple candidates separating themselves from the pack.

Griffin originally interviewed with the Jazz two weeks ago. Griffin, who has served as an assistant coach on Tom Thibodeau's staff, is reportedly also a candidate for the Cleveland Cavaliers and New York Knicks.

Quin Snyder will also receive a second interview with the Jazz.

The Sacramento Kings are in the early stages of their search to fill an assistant coaching vacancy.

Tyrone Corbin is expected to interview for the position.

Corbin was fired by the Utah Jazz after the season.

Donald Sterling himself put the value of the Los Angeles Clippers at under $300 million during a 2009 deposition in a Justice Department federal housing discrimination lawsuit.

Paul George was asked on Friday if he wants to have Lance Stephenson return to the Indiana Pacers next season.

"I don't know," George said after a long pause. "That's for Larry (Bird), Kevin (Pritchard), for them to decide. It would be great. We came into this league together. It would be great for us to continue our journey together.

"But he's played a huge (role) this whole season and in this postseason. So it's definitely put pressure on us to make decisions going forward with Lance."

David West took a more decisive position.

"I think so, I hope so," said David West. "He's a huge part of the progress that we made. He's a great young talent. He fits with this group so hopefully we get him back."

"In our eyes (right now), Lance is still here, still a part of this organization," George Hill said. "We love Lance as a teammate and we hope that the organization brings him back with this group. He's a big part of this team's success."

The Indiana Pacers plan on bringing back Frank Vogel as head coach next season, according to sources.

Vogel led the Pacers to the Eastern Conference Finals again this season, as well as the best record in the Eastern Conference. But the Pacers narrowly moved past the Atlanta Hawks and the Washington Wizards in the first and second rounds.
