I just don't know the Lakers have anything else to chuck in with the high draft pick to be able to create an attractive offer.

Surely Houston wouldn't be able to afford him (especially with Lin coming to the back-loaded part of his deal i believe).

Boston would have a lot of room. Who could they offer? Green + picks?

Would really like to see him go to Phoenix.
Clear out 1 of the Morris twins and others plus cash.

Build around Dragic, Bledsloe, Len and Love.
Play an up-tempo style with mobility and athleticism all around the floor.

Anon, GS wouldn't have the $ me thinks.

Bogut is on a big contract, Currys big money starts to kick in about now and Iggy wouldn't be too cheap.

Yeah it would be good.

Mind you their major weakness this year was their bench.

They desperately need a PG ( a very good backup in the mould of a Mills).

You can take away Lee and Barnes to get Love..probably strengthens their starters.

But diminishes the rotations even more. They went what 7 deep in the playoffs.

I think Lakers. If they are unable to work the sign & trade, he will go to Lakers at contract end as a free agent.

I was originally thinking that Love may want to go to a contender now, because his time may be running out.

Then checked and saw he is only 25! Incredible.

Its the beard!

Westbrook and Love to the Lakers in 2015 ??

Just so we're clear, anon... You're saying he should go to Golden State right?

GSW getting some love in this thread but I don't think they'll get K.Love.

It will always be the Lakers. I'm thinking straight up trade for the draft pick as long as its pick 4 - 9. The Wolves would be stupid to try and hard bargain with any team knowing he will walk in 12 months.

If LA get pick 1,2 or 3 ( highly unlikely ) they will keep it and build around them to make the next Franchise player.

As above said though, K Love in GSW would look nice if they unload Lee and Barnes or Lee and someone else. He would fit nicely with Steph, Thompson, Iggy and Bogut.

I feel sorry for these teams in America that struggle to keep or acquire stars (Minnesota, Cleveland, Milwaukee) etc etc

Would be nice if GSW got Love, but I think Minny will get better offers than Lee, Barnes and a mid-20s first rounder, just because Lee is too old for the Wolves to rebuild with.

Not sure Love would want to come to Boston, but they could offer up Sully (shows some signs he could be K-Love light) plus major cap space (via trade exception for Pierce), a high pick this year and another first rounder from 2015 or 2016. Celtics could also offer Green instead, but then it would just be Rondo, Love and a bunch of scrubs, which gets them nowhere.

Phoenix sounds like an interesting idea. They would have trouble getting the salaries to match as they don't have any big contracts, but if they could overcome that hurdle they could offer say Bledsoe, a Morris, their top pick this year and the top 5 protected Lakers pick next year. That would have to be an interesting offer for the Wolves.

Billy, same. You get Miami with three franchise players (other teams loading up too) while some places struggle to keep a star or be competitive. Once upon a time, Cleveland had LeBron and Minnesota had Garnett (or even Love now).

Milwaukee hasn't really had anyone of note in years.

Article headline I just spotted suggests he's interested in the Warriors and Bulls. Houston and Boston have also been mentioned elsewhere.

GSW - could get Love for Barnes/Lee

If they want to streghen the bench look no further than LAC's current bench as a few guys will be looking to sign else where while staying on the west coast for the minimum.

Bench Support Humphries/Marion - Might be to $$$ but could be great to add depth

Turner – poor play for the Pacers so might get him cheap.

Brooks – Will play on the min and be serviceable.

If GSW are smart and get Love they could be a real force if they recruit the right bench.

Teams need to be mindful he doesn't do a "Dwight Howard" and opt out after a year. So I think you can count out Houston and Phoenix, even Boston.

Chicago would be great as he will be in the watered down Eastern Conference and contending straight away.

My prediction is the Lakers will sign him via free agency next year. K Love wants to play in LA or a large market team so it will be the bright lights of the Lake show or in the Bay Area for the warriors.
As these two teams are my all time favourite, I'm happy either way ;)

Looks like an exciting 18 months of NBA with the likes of Westbrook, Durant, LeBron, Melo all up for new contracts.

Indiana pacers would probably be a good team for him who are already contenders. Won't have any good draft picks but could trade the trouble maker Stephenson and a couple of fringe players.
