Cavs, Timberwolves engaged in serious Kevin Love trade talks

The Minnesota Timberwolves and the Cleveland Cavaliers are engaged in serious trade talks for Kevin Love, ESPN reports.

The Cavaliers seem the only team still in contention for the Timberwolves All-Star forward.

After ESPN.com reported last week that the Cavaliers remain the front-runners to acquire Love in a trade co-headlined by No. 1 overall draft pick Andrew Wiggins, sources this week have described the Cavs as the only team in contention for Love. Wiggins is not eligible to be dealt until Aug. 23 after signing his rookie contract last week, but numerous league insiders -- some of whom are gathered in Las Vegas for this week's Team USA training camp -- have begun to describe a Love-to-Cleveland trade as a "when" transaction as opposed to an "if."
