The Kevin Love situation with the Minnesota Timberwolves is becoming increasingly more hostile with the superstar forward likely on his way out.

Apparently, one Eastern Conference executive believes the Los Angeles Lakers are in play for the versatile forward according to Ken Berger of CBSSports.com:
“They should trade him,” one Eastern Conference executive said. “No one thinks he’s staying. Everyone knows he wants to go to the Lakers.”

With the recent trade rumors circulating around Pau Gasol, the Lakers are obviously exploring all options considering the fact this season is quickly getting out of hand. The Lakers have lost nine of their last 10 and have numerous players injured, including Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash, Steve Blake and Jordan Farmar.

The only question moving forward is if the Timberwolves are interested in anything the Lakers have to offer. Obviously, Gasol would be the centerpiece of any trade, but the storied franchise has found it hard to move his contract.
Over the past few years, Love and Gasol have been mentioned in plenty of different trade scenarios. Although it may appear to be a stretch that the Lakers can land Love in exchange for Gasol, both teams appear eager to make a deal before the NBA trade deadline on Feb. 20 and could begin discussions on a blockbuster deal.

Recently, the Cleveland Cavaliers decided not to acquire Gasol from the Lakers in a swap for Andrew Bynum. The Cavs chose to deal Bynum to the Chicago Bulls instead due to the fact that the Lakers were asking for more than just Bynum in the deal.

As for the Timberwolves, it remains uncertain what Minnesota might want in return for Love, but it’d be safe bet to assume other teams could offer considering more than.
:skip: But, nobody wants to play for the Lakers though??? :mjpls::ahh: Get ready brehs, 2015. :shaq:

brehs, am i the only one who can't stand John Ireland? :mindblown:

Its like the FO put this dude on the radio to cop pleas for them :scusthov:

Lakers fukked up by not keeping Spero Diedes, I have no idea why they didn't just give him the TV job. Maybe the age gap between him and Stu?

Either way, they fukked up letting him go.

:banderas: Gotta hope we get Embiid, we need a rim protector and defensive anchor badly. Kobe back, Embiid, and than sign some of the young players on the bench, make sure there is still cap space for 2015 for Love, and sign Ariza to come back and sign a PG like Lowry, than we are straight. :blessed: This is looking like the perfect tank year for us, a blessing in disguise. :whew:
