So with Kevin Love pressuring the Minnesota Timberwolves to trade him, they’ve agreed to a deal to send him to the Cavaliers to join James. That means Minnesota fans everywhere, it is time to start burning Love’s jersey.

One Timberwolves fan uploaded a hilarious video with “angry” Love fans who want to pretend to burn the jersey and give Love well wishes while thanking him for his time with the team and stating that they understand his decision to leave.
