Kevin Love trade with Warriors, Timberwolves could happen next week

The likelihood that a Kevin Love trade goes down is getting stronger by the minute. Now that the Golden State Warriors are willing to include Klay Thompson in the package to acquire Love, the Minnesota Timberwolves appear to be more interested in parting ways with their star.

Golden State has been one of the more interesting candidates for Love since he became available, since they have one of the most talented rosters in the NBA and a very solid young core.

By adding Love, they would add some balance to their offense.

Not only would the Warriors still have a quality shooter in Stephen Curry,  but they would have another double-double machine down in the paint that would take some of the pressure off of Curry and add some versatility that could keep opponents off guard.

So when would a potential deal go down?

According to the latest rumor, we could have a deal as early as next week.
