The Denver Nuggets are rumored to have offered the Minnesota Timberwolves a package of Kenneth Faried and Wilson Chandler for disgruntled All-Star forward Kevin Love.
The 25-year-old Love has let it be known he plans to bolt Minnesota as a free agent after the 2015 season, provided the Wolves and coach Flip Saunders haven't conceded to his demands for a trade long before then. After six seasons of failing to qualify for the Western Conference playoffs, Love has grown weary in Minnesota and appears intent on forcing his way to a larger market that offers him a more legitimate opportunity to compete for a title.

The Nuggets are but the latest team to express an interest in obtaining Love, who averaged 26 points and 13 rebounds for the Wolves this season. The Boston Celtics, Chicago Bulls, New York Knicks, Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Lakers are rumored to hold interest in the former UCLA star and native Californian.
