The Kevin Love sweepstakes are officially open. After months (if not years) of denying interest in dealing their franchise player, the Timberwolves’ hard line has reportedly softened. The change -- from We will not trade Kevin Love to We will not trade Kevin love before the draft and Never say never -- is hugely significant. Love, a three-time All-Star who averaged 26.1 points and 12.5 rebounds this season, will be among the most sought-after free agents in 2015 and a prime trade target until then, making his availability a matter of league-wide importance.

My Two Cents

Ripples from the David Kahn days -- Kevin Love is paying MN Timberwolves back for hiring an incompetent GM. Kahn will cost MN Kevin Love. Kahn is also the same guy who drafted 3 point guards in 1 draft - Rubio, Flynn and Lawson. Kahn was unbelievably BAD!!
