The Chicago Bulls have re-entered the Kevin Love sweepstakes, adding another page to this drama filled story. According to ESPN’s Marc Stein, the Bulls never forgot about the former UCLA Bruin.
Although the full extent of the Bulls’ offer wasn’t immediately known, it is believed Minnesota would seek a package from Chicago featuring forward Taj Gibson and defensive ace Jimmy Butler in addition to other assets. The Bulls shelved their Love interest while trying to sign Carmelo Anthony away from the New York Knicks but, according to sources, have re-emerged as contenders.
Love has previously stated that he would enjoy going to either Chicago or Golden State to play out a few more years in his career. The Warriors have not budged though on their intent to keep Klay Thompson in the Bay Area, for very good reasons. Cleveland Cavaliers were forever the front runners for Love, but due to the recent signing of Andrew Wiggins, Wiggins can not be traded for another 30 days and it seems that the Cavs will be set on keeping him in Cleveland. Wiggins has already been told he won’t be moved by the Cavs.
Wherever Love goes though, it will immediately impact that teams future right away.
