The Wolves have a lot of interest in Gasol, but they keep trying to give back Williams. Mitch is waiting for Nash to come in and if Gasol doesn't work he's gone, hopefully for Love

[bigfetz]

I fixed it in like 2 second after lol

[Lakers4Life]

He can demand a trade which he said he would if they dont make the playoffs. Doesnt seem like they like him there for some reason.

[Lakers4Life]

It's all assuming too much. He doesn't trust them yet. But he don't have the leverage yet. That's why I said 2014. This season and half of next year is their trial period. Also we have offered pau for love before it got rejected. Don't expect them to accept an older pau. Khan is stupid just not that stupid

He hasn't even played a full season with a healthy squad. Once Rubio comes back I'm sure he isn't going to be uncertain.

[androsays]

Come home Kevin.

he's from oregon

We would be so good with Love instead of Gasol. Completely erases all our problems.
He can space the floor better.
He is definitely more tough and athletic.
Better Defense
Younger

Too bad there is no way we get him anytime soon.

[Majesty]

Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving, future Lakers

[Drazard]

Wolves more hate for love

and the lakers will have you're gratitude

NYAHAHAHAHAHA !

[LALakersFan4Life]

Born in Santa Monica.

And played in UCLA. I'd say Cali is home more so than Oregon. Plus, his dad used to play for the Lakers. Come back home play for the greatest franchise your dad played for.

Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving, future Lakers

We dont have a chance for irving till like 2015 or 16. He just has a team option in 14 and I highly doubt they drop him then he is a restricted FA which again I highly doubt we can get him through.

[JGuez]

Obviously wish we could get him but you gotta think from Minny's perspective. What's the rush to deal him....especially if he's said he'll still play hard (which is respectable of course)?

[24allday]

That'd be straight highway robbery if we got Love for Pau straight up

[Carpe Diem]

I would give up Pau, HIll and Scare just for him

[netlord]

He'll be there at least 2 years.

[underworldmike]

He's gone.

Here's my deadline idea ...

Atlanta gets:
Derrick Williams

Minnesota gets:
Jordan Hill
Josh Smith
Pau Gasol

Lakers get:
Kevin Love

Salaries are way off, but this is a solid template.

if you are going to do that. You might as well put jordan hill, jodie meeks,jamison and williams to the hawks. Plus whatever picks la has left and some picks from timberwolves.

Let minnesotta have Pau and Smith only. With lakers only getting Kevin love

Not that bad a trade, they would get decent value for Love, but Atl would have to get someone else, maybe Pekovic for any trade like that to go through.

Kevin Love Meets With Timberwolves' Owner



Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor and star Kevin Love have been in periodic contact about the direction of the team. The pair met again this week, had a long talk, and Taylor said all is well.

Love, in a Yahoo Sports article in December, expressed frustration about the team's future. Since then, though, he has emphasized his desire to remain in Minnesota.

"I think Kevin and I are on the same page -- we've been on the same page -- so that's fine," Taylor said. "We're talking about going ahead. He wants to know how we're going to do next year, what we're going to do."

First, though, Taylor said, the Wolves (19-31 at the all-star break) have to get through this season.

"And see how it goes," he said.

Taylor told Love that it's important for the owner to find out, "at some point in time," if he can play toward the end of the season.

"Because that will give us some information," he said.

Love, a two-time all-star, hasn't played since fracturing his right hand Jan. 3 in Denver.

Taylor said his chat with Love "wasn't any big secret. We just talked about things. My concern is how is he coming, getting ready, his physical shape. He says he's doing all those things and I really believe him. He's hopeful (to return by) mid-March. It's up to the doctor, the trainers, how well he feels. I think it's important that we communicate."

Love, 24, has three years after this season on a $62 million, four-year contract he signed in 2012. There have been no talks or
thoughts about extending the deal now.

"And I don't think he is (thinking that way), either," Taylor said. We've got to get him healthy. Kevin said he's really positive about playing here and staying here. That he has always said to me; he's always been positive with me."

Of the meeting, Taylor said, "I think he came in positive, and I think he went out positive."

As for the rest of the Wolves, who have lost 16 of their past 19 games, Taylor said, "We have a few injuries that might allow the players after the break to come back and be healthy, but still we've got Kevin and Chase (Budinger) and Brandon (Roy), and we're looking more at mid-March before they're ready. So it's still going to be tough after the break.

"There's not much we can do -- we're going to be short of players, and we've just got to play through that and hope these other guys can come back. But even if we get a couple guys back after the break to get healthy again, I think it will help."

The Wolves' myriad injuries have been tough on Taylor.

"It's been very discouraging," he said. "I had such high hopes, and we just keep racking up all these injuries."
