Timberwolves looking to trade Kevin Love

[MichaelNewtonII]

I don't think we are pursuing him but I hope we make a run at him, him and al would be a top 3 PF, C combo in the NBA, Golden State and New York are listed as teams pursuing him so far

[JJman]

He wouldn't sign here long term

[4Corners]

He ain't coming here but I would love to see him here. Most complete PF in the league.

This.

 

He's going to hand pick his list of teams and tell the TWolves to get it done with one of them. I've seen Chicago and Golden State as the favorites on his list (LA teams obvious), as well as Boston or Phoenix having the assets to make a run at him. Doesn't mean he likes either Boston or Phoenix though.

 

A team like the Hornets, where he's expressed no interest in going, won't give up the assets to get him on a 1 year rental unless he says he'd re-sign here long-term. 

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

He wouldn't agree to a long term deal and we don't really have the resources.

They want a top five pick, we'd at least have to get Detroit's pick this year and then ship them Walker, MKG, and Henderson.

The problem we are having is we don't have large enough contracts to pull off a trade for a guy with a contract 14mil+

Deron Williams also wants to be traded but like Love, we can't make a deal without shipping over 5 players and a pick.

[Panther_Brotherhood]

We'd have to give up too much for him, and he wouldn't stay here. I think ultimately he ends up in Chicago

Honestly, I wanted KLove when he came out in the draft and I still love his game, but sadly, I don't think he's a winner or a leader. Would I want him still? Yes. But, would he really make us better? Not certain.

[Simon Says]

He puts up inflated numbers on shitty teams. He won't look so great when he has a good team around him in Chicago or Golden State and he still can't win.

[carolina-chuck]

Man doesn't play defense. Seriously.

I would say for sure he is an improvement over McRoberts so I don't see how he couldn't make us better

No doubt, but it's weird... you would think a guy that avgs 20 and 10 at the very least, with frequent outbursts bordering on insane numbers in those categories, would be leading his team to playoff berths and wins... but he doesn't. And it's not like he has had bad teams. They have had more talent than our team did this year, and yet, they struggle.

Iverson was my favorite player after Jordan retired, but he was the same way. Huge numbers, but wasn't really a winner.

I really think he would lead the t wolves to a 3rd seed if in the east. The west is so stacked right now that theres really good teams not making it to the playoffs there.

[Cary Kollins]

Y'all are crazy. You realize he's been on the Timberwolves right? The same team Al Jefferson wasted very productive years on.

That's like saying Cam was "not a winner" when the defense couldn't hold a 4th quarter lead.

Love is one of the best players in the nba. Lol
