Kings Willing to Trade for Kevin Love Without Assurance of Signing Extension

lovekings1With Kevin Love intimating that he will not re-sign in Minnesota, the team probably needs to trade him. Because of this recent revelation, just about every team is trying to make a move for the big man.

One such team is Sacramento, who reportedly is willing to trade for Love without a reassurance that he will sign an extension with the team beyond next year. Risky proposition for Sacto.

The Sacramento Kings have let the Minnesota Timberwolves know they are interested in trading for All-Star forward Kevin Love – and the Kings would make a deal without any assurance from Love he’d re-sign with them, a league source told Yahoo Sports…

The Kings are willing to give up their eighth overall pick in this year’s NBA draft and a combination of players for Love, even though he would not be expected to sign a contract extension before next season – if ever, with the rebuilding, small-market franchise, the source said. Sacramento envisions Love and DeMarcus Cousins playing alongside each other in the front court. Swingman Rudy Gay has a player’s option for next season.
