I picked the Suns for giggles but think he'll wind up with GSW

Because Lakers suck right now. I don't think he would wanna play there. he's looking for a contender at this stage in his career

Lakers have a lottery pick, lots of cap space and a superstar (old, but still a great person that people want to be around). Lotto pick + Kevin Love + couple of good role players = back in contention in 2-3 years

No other team can beat the D.Lee+H.Barnes+K.Thompson package.

They're coughing up that lotto pick to obtain Love.

There is no way the Warriors would give all of that up for Love, absolutely no way. David Lee + one of them is more than fair assuming he will sign an extension there.

Come to Boston! We have tons of picks and **** contracts (I mean valuable veterans!!)

Plus Rondo and Love would give us Celtic fans some reward for the last year lol. The only painful part is considering Sully would have to be going to Minny if this gets done.

The Lakers? Really?

I don't understand the appeal of going to a losing team with an aging core and no valuable young players.

0 chance he goes to LA

If somehow he does go, he'll walk like Dwight Howard.

Minny could also send Corey Brewer to play sf/sg. Having K.Love, you don't need a very good scoring shooting guard, like Klay Thompson. Brewer and Iggy will be necessary to stop Westbrook, Parker, Lillard and Harden.

I highly doubt Minnesota trades him this offseason. People overreact to these rumors, they only said he was open to trade and now they are saying it is not part of their plan.

Then Minnesota would lose more value. The Timberwolves would be a team at best chasing for the #8 seed in the West and that's when Kevin Love realized that this team has reached it's peak. Then the Timberwolves get a crappier deal by the trade deadline because Kevin Love is not going to resign back with the Timberwolves and teams are going to offer a lot less for a guy that's only going to be playing for the team for about two months. The best thing for the Timberwolves is to trade Kevin Love now with the 2014 NBA Draft right around the corner and rebuild. They can get a high draft pick if just say the Lakers are in the top 5 in this year NBA Draft.

EXACTLY! For a guy that's going to test the free agent market after next season, no thank you. That's too much of a trade package. Even if Kevin Love said he'll resign back with the Warriors, the Warriors are breaking up a nice core of Curry, Thompson, Iguodala, and Bogut. David Lee, Harrison Barnes, and a 2015 1st Round Draft Pick. Take it or leave it.

Plan B is going after Kevin Love after next season during free agency. David Lee with his expiring contract after next season along with Harrison Barnes in a sign-and-trade deal for Kevin Love to whoever team Kevin Love is traded to this coming offseason is good enough of a trade package when that team finds out that Kevin Love doesn't want to resign back and play for them. A very important core player that doesn't missed games at all and is a two way player in Klay Thompson, a young SF prospect with good size and athletic abilities in Harrison Barnes, and a productive PF that is just as bad defensively as Kevin Love, but will hustle back and give more effort on defense than Kevin Love in David Lee is not worth giving up for Kevin Love. Thanks, but no thanks.

Curry, Thompson, Lee, Iguodala, Bogut >>>>> Curry, Martin, Love, Iguodala, Bogut

Lol at the Lakers trying to get Love. They have "a" lottery draft pick and...........well thats it for a trade. Good luck with that. No one wants Sacre, marshall, or anything else they have.

Guess the lakers can offer season tickets and free corndogs to the wolves with the draft pick.

Im sure Kevin is just dying to play with a gimpy aging ballhog...cough... Kobe. Lol
