Earlier in the week is sounded as though the Chicago Bulls had submitted a decent offer to the Minnesota Timberwolves to try and acquire Kevin Love, but as speculated here it is turning out that this could all be a ploy by the Wolves to get what they want out of Cleveland in trade talks for Love.

According to Gregg Doyle from CBSSports.com, the Chicago Bulls and Minnesota Timberwolves may be ganging up on the Cavaliers for their own person reasons.

"The only thing that makes sense to me is that the Bulls and Wolves are ganging up on the Cavaliers to weaken Cleveland as much as possible — Chicago by upping its offer and Minnesota by leaking to the media that it is intrigued by it, both of which have the same result the Bulls and Wolves want, if for different reasons: the Cavaliers upping their offer."

This, in a very technical sense, could be considered collusion which is against the NBA rules, but it falls in the grey area where it can’t be officially identified as such. The bottom line is that the Bulls and Wolevs make great bedfellows aas the Wolves want to drive the price up on Cleveland to get maximum return for Love and then-some while the Bulls just want to further destroy a divisional foe they already hate.
