Details of the proposed Kevin Love trade have been revealed and it has been confirmed that the Philadelphia 76ers will be the third team involved in the deal.
T-Wolves Shopping Ricky Rubio?
The deal can be finalized starting Saturday, but the details are finally starting to come to the surface. The Timberwolves will receive Andrew Wiggins, Anthony Bennett, Thaddeus Young and a future first round pick. The Cavaliers will receive Kevin Love and the 76ers will receive Luc Mbah A Moute, Alexey Shved and a first round pick.
The 76ers had pushed the Timberwolves to send Bennett to Philadelphia, but Minnesota decided to hold on to the former No. 1 overall pick.

“The Wolves, sources said, already have verbally agreed to acquire Wiggins, 2013's No. 1 overall pick Anthony Bennett and a future first-round pick from the Cavs for Love. Minnesota would then have the option of flipping that first-rounder to Philadelphia, along with Mbah A Moute and Shved, for Young.
The Sixers tried to get Bennett as part of the Young transaction, sources said, but Minnesota was determined to keep the second-year forward to be a key piece in its rebuilding effort despite Bennett's disappointing rookie season with Cleveland.”
The three teams have been allowed to schedule the trade with league since Thursday, but it is not known if such actions were made. When the trade becomes final, the Cavaliers and Timberwolves are expected to have introductory press conferences for their respective players later next week.
