For the most part, the teams that we’ve heard associated with Kevin Love in a potential trade are the Cavs, Warriors and to a lesser extent, the Celtics.
According to Brian Windhorst and Marc Stein of ESPN, the Bulls have emerged as a candidate as well.
Right now, T-Wolves GM Flip Saunders has all of the leverage in the world as he can run up the asking price for Love considering there are so many suitors. But he shouldn’t get too greedy because come February of next season as the trade deadline nears, that all vanishes and he could lose Love for nothing in return.
The Cleveland Cavaliers are firmly in the lead to acquire Kevin Love but the Chicago Bulls are making a renewed push to get into the trade mix for the All-Star power forward, according to sources close to the process. …
Sources say that the Bulls, though, have this re-entered the race and would appear to be the biggest threat to the Cavs, thanks largely to the Golden State Warriors’ resolute unwillingness to add longtime Wolves target Klay Thompson in a deal.
