08:40 AM ET 11.11 | After a breakout double-double Tuesday (23 points, 24 rebounds against the Lakers), Kevin Love scored some timely points Wednesday but didn't make an impact before that. Love has been walking a fine line between publicly grumbling and saying the right things of late, and other teams have taken note. One team that would be an ideal fit for Love, Houston, has explored the possibility to the point of presenting trade scenarios to the Wolves. Those overtures, sources say, have been met with an icy response. Another team to keep an eye on with regard to Love is the Trail Blazers. No stranger to frontcourt injuries, Portland doesn't want to get caught shorthanded again, and coach Rick Adelman lives in Love's hometown, Lake Oswego, Ore.

Love would be perfect on the Thunder...As a Spur Fan lets hope that doesnt happen LOL!

I was just about to say the same thing thinking I would get criticized. As much as I don???t like Love I think he can def help out the thunders with their inside game. They need a down low presence or else they will just be another first rounder exit.

What is this Story trying to Say??.....Rick Adelman coaches Houston...so what does that have to do with Portland?.... " No stranger to frontcourt injuries, Portland doesn't want to get caught shorthanded again, and coach Rick Adelman lives in Love's hometown, Lake Oswego, Ore." Dumb sentence....

Why don't you like Love?

Thunder would be a great fit. I think Love could be an All Star -just needs to get that post defense improved

Yupp... he should push for a thunder trade. Even though Portland looks better on paper they suffer a strange fate of their bigs gettings injured. Add the fact that ROY is a walking injury question mark and you get the picture...

Love isn't a guard, which makes him expendable in Minnesota. The Heat should trade Mario Chalmers. Love would be the perfect compliment to that front court.

Just not a big fan of his game, doesn't say much to me. If he starts on a team and keeps his production up then I may start to like him.

If Kevin McHale was there...maybe
KAHHNNNNNNNN! just does stupid things with the draft

He'd look mighty fine in a Blazer uniform. Bring the boy back home.

Yeah he would fit just as good in Miami as he would in OKC...but Chalmers cmon bro even Kahn is not that dumb.

Are you putting your trust in Kahn. We're talking the same guy that gave Darko 20mil when nobody else will.

Somewhere Kahn is saying OH YEAH we'll see about that

Come to the Queen City, bro. The Bobcats are in deseperate of a post presence.

November 11, 2010  10:05 AM ET

Wait now Love is going to get sent packing? Wasn't the main problem with Al Jefferson that he and Love played the same position and they wanted to give it to Love? Does minnesota have any idea what they're doing?

November 11, 2010  10:13 AM ET

After all the moves they made to get to this point, how about keeping the same roster for at least a season? How are they supposed to get any better? KEEP LOVE.

November 11, 2010  10:13 AM ET

Pistons would also be a team to consider. they have either rip and tay to trade. and the wolves need vets to guide their young players

November 11, 2010  10:16 AM ET

When you look at Love, he's in his Rookie contact only $3.6m this season, $4.6m next season, than a RFA in 2012-13 most teams would want him! ...send him to the BUCKS, we could use another BIG....say for Carlos Delfino...I know it a Homer trade!
