Timberwolves Owner Hints That Kevin Love Will Join LeBron James In Cleveland
Minnesota Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor said that it is "likely" that Love will be traded and told the St. Paul Pioneer Press that a deal is expected August 23 or 24.
The dates suggest that the Timberwolves have agreed to trade Love to the Cavaliers in a deal that would include Andrew Wiggins, the top pick of the 2014 NBA Draft.
Wiggins signed his rookie contract with the Cavaliers on July 24 and cannot be traded in the first 30 days of the contract.
They were originally reluctant to include Wiggins in a deal but reportedly changed their minds just prior to signing the rookie to his contract.
If Love ends up with the Cavs as expected, he will join James and Kyrie Irving to form the NBA's newest super team and will immediately be the favorites to win the Eastern Conference.
