Kevin Love

Kevin Love is really good at pointing out the obvious. During an interview with GQ‘s Steve Marsh, the Minnesota Timberwolves’ 2015 free-agent-to-be was of course asked about his future, which was of course tied to the Los Angeles Lakers, so of course Love was forced to address the issue and of course his response was [...]

Carmelo Anthony doesn’t appear to be a favorite of George Karl’s anymore. Not to say he ever was. He could have been. If he was, forcing his way off the Denver Nuggets and onto the New York Knicks is a good way to ensure he never would be again. Anyhow, Karl, a veteran NBA coach [...]

Kevin Love is reportedly looking ahead. Really, really far ahead. According to NBA.com’s Sam Smith, Love already has a list of preferred 2015 free-agency destinations that includes the Knicks and Lakers: Now the Timberwolves face the issue teams have with LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Deron Williams and Dwight Howard: Trade him now or this summer [...]

Remember when Kevin Love didn’t feel supported by the Minnesota Timberwolves? Yeah, those days are gone. Those feelings are gone. Or at least, they should be. Timberwolves coach Rick Adelman called Love a top-five NBA star following his team’s 100-98 loss to the Dallas Mavericks. Weird, right? Praising a player after a loss? From the [...]

Those New York Knicks are at it again. No, not winning. I said “again,” thereby implying they’re plotting a free-agency coup of epic and unrealistic proportions. According to ESPN’s Brian Windhorst, the Knicks are hoping Rajon Rondo will force a trade to New York before 2015. If all else fails, they’ll snag him in free [...]

Prepare yourselves for the most unconventional of NBA compliments. Following the Indiana Pacers’ 106-79 romping of the Boston Celtics, Roy Hibbert told CSNNE’s Abby Chin that Jared Sullinger could be “the Kevin Love of the East.” Quite the form of praise, wouldn’t you say? Sullinger is in his second season with the Celtics and is [...]

Kevin Love believes. Talk of 2015, when Love will be a free agent and likely courted by the New York Knicks and Los Angeles Lakers, among others, kind of makes you forget that there’s another team who will be competing for Love’s services—the Minnesota Timberwolves. Minny’s quest to retain Love has already started. David Kahn [...]

This is starting to get weird. And quite frankly, a little embarrassing. The New York Knicks are title contenders. That’s what they’re selling us on, anyway. Carmelo Anthony, Tyson Chandler, J.R. Smith, Iman Shumpert, Andrea Bargnani—they’re supposed to be the core of a championship hopeful. Yet talk keeps shifting to the future, like the Knicks [...]

Success never comes easy to the Minnesota Timberwolves. For what feels like forever, the Timberwolves bordered on laughable or just not good enough. Preseason expectations have often toed the line of nonexistent since Kevin Garnett left. They were rarely equipped to win 25 games, let alone contend for a playoff spot in a loaded Western [...]

J.J. Barea hasn’t forgotten how much he loved playing for the Dallas Mavericks. The point guard spent five seasons in Dallas, mostly as a backup, before signing with the Minnesota Timberwolves in the summer of 2011. His departure was and remains unsettling, since it came just after the Mavs beat the Miami Heat in the [...]
