[Wolves United]

On the T-Wolves' perception of him, and the team's decision not to offer him a five-year contract extension:
"I don't know who labels people stars, but even [Timberwolves owner] Glen Taylor said: I don't think Kevin Love is a star, because he hasn't led us to the playoffs. I mean, it's not like I had much support out there.... That's a tough pill to swallow."
On questions about whether his broken hand happened in the way he described:
"Even people in my own organization were asking if it was a legitimate injury, people calling my honesty and integrity into question. And that's what really hurt me."
On the T-Wolves' frequent roster changes:
"You walk into the locker room every year, and it's completely turned over. There's new guys everywhere. And then it happens again and again. You start to wonder: Is there really a plan here? Is there really any kind of a... plan?"
On his future:
"I have a very, very good memory, and I always remember the people who have done right by me, and the people who have done wrong by me. It will be embedded in my brain, and something I won't forget about. There's no telling what will happen. I would love to compete for a championship in Minnesota, but….
"I haven't been in the playoffs yet. I'm looking at my contract in the eye of two years from now, and if I haven't been to the playoffs – or it's been one playoff berth – well, it's going to be tough to say, 'Oh well, I'm going to stay here and continue to rebuild.'"
On Minnesota's decision to trade Al Jefferson after Love's second season:
"We should've at least tried [making it work with Jefferson], especially with way things were going. I was beginning to figure things out in my second season. Everybody knew what Al was capable of, and is still capable of. It was definitely worth the risk of seeing what would happen. If it didn't work, then go another way. But we never tried it."
On how feeling slighted by members of the Wolves' organization has fueled him:
"That's the crazy thing about this: There's this whole [expletive]-up, cynical thing going on in my head, where I love people telling me what I can't do, telling me this what you're going to be, this is your ceiling. Just everybody projecting for me. I'm not breaking any bounds or barriers saying this, but I think all kids – white, black, purple, whatever color – in basketball should never put a limit on themselves. I've had plenty of people tell me who I was going to be, and I feel like, for the time being, I've exceeded that."

Will be mad if Kevin Love leaves Minnesota, my family sure won't like this.

[Swish]

Trade Bargnani, Calderon, Kleiza and a first round pick for Love PLEASE

If that happened, the Knicks would stomp everyone. And we would possibly be the best 3-Point shooting team in the league.

He said the same shit about a season or two ago.

Well, Minnesota's manegment was stupid as hell for not giving Kevin Love a max contract. He didn't lead you to the playoffs? Well it's your fault for giving him mostly a bunch of scrubs to play with him until this past year when Rubio and himself went down in the middle of last year and were out for the rest of the season. It's your fault for giving him the wrong coaches to coach him up until last season with Adleman. I mean, if Russell Westbrook got a max contract, Kevin Love is definitely worth a max contract. If Minnesota was a top seed this past year or this up coming year, Kevin Love is easily an MVP candidate.

[Saint Nick C]

[Bball_Jones]

He should stay there (unless he wants to join Boston at some point), I think they have a good future.

[Poohdini]

Lakers need rebounding and outside shooting... mess fixed.

"I hate Kevin Love. However, I think he should go back to Los Angeles. He did go to UCLA after all and grew up a Laker fan." - Derrick Rose

Lakers need rebounding and outside shooting... mess fixed.

Lakers are the best rebounding team in the league actually (right now) and they were #2 to Chicago last season!

Uh... like there is never a need for more rebounding? And we would have to trade our second leading rebounder (like this trade would ever go down in the first place LMAO!).

Also... OUTSIDE SHOOTING...

that be a good team

[probskN]

I think he's gonna be going to the Celtics. I'm not trying to be biased here, but it would be a good place to resurrect his career in two years. Look what happened to Garnett. Anyways, I think he'll see an opportunity to win a championship in Beantown and the Celtics will hopefully see that too.

[Void]

I don't think anything good will happen for him if he stays with Minnesota. He should leave.
