As of right now, it seems as though the Warriors have the edge in trade talks with the Timberwolves. The current deal being discussed involves Golden State sending Klay Thompson, David Lee, and future first-round draft pick to Minnesota in exchange for Love and Kevin Martin.

Other players have been mentioned as potentially being involved in the deal are J.J. Barea, Harrison Barnes, and possibly even the 13th overall pick in this year’s NBA draft.

Although Oakland may be where Love ultimately lands, many other teams will be looking to best the Warriors’ offer. The Houston Rockets, Chicago Bulls, Boston Celtics, Sacramento Kings and Los Angeles Lakers have all been rumored to show interest in acquiring Love, but the only trade package being talked about thus far is coming from Golden State.
