It has now been 12 years since the Minnesota Timberwolves traded Kevin Love to the Cleveland Cavaliers. Apparently, the Timberwolves had their eyes on an all-time NBA sharpshooter as a return for Love. On the topic of Love, Windhorst said:“Jerry West, who was an advisor...he threatened to resign as advisor of the Warriors if the Warriors traded Klay Thompson for Kevin Love. Timberwolves' history would have been much different with ThompsonAt the time of the Love trade to Cleveland, Thompson wasn’t quite viewed in the same light as he would be viewed over the next decade. Had they rostered Thompson, they most likely wouldn’t have had the worst record in the NBA.
