Even with the news that president of basketball operations Flip Saunders plans to come down from the front office to now also coach the team, star forward Kevin Love is still making his own by again alerting the team he plans to leave town as soon as he is able to.
The 25-year-old, three-time All-Star can become a free agent after the 2015 season and the Wolves were hoping the news of the veteran Saunders' insertion may have led to a change of heart.
But according to reports, Love's mind remains unchanged and could lead to the Wolves dealing him sooner rather than later to prevent the team from ending up empty-handed should he leave as a free agent.
Minnesota worried about Kevin Love?
Should the Wolves decide to deal him, they will have no shortage of takers, as the Bulls, Lakers, Kings, Knicks, Celtics and Warriors have all expressed varying degrees of interest.
Over his first six NBA seasons, the former UCLA star has averaged a double-double in four seasons, averaging at least 20 points in three of those campaigns. Love's best full season came this year when he averaged 26 points, 13 rebounds and four assists.
But the Wolves have yet to make the playoffs in any of season, fueling speculation that all the losing and being in one of the league's smallest markets have frustrated him to no end.
