The Cleveland Cavaliers have agreed to send Andrew Wiggins, Anthony Bennett, and a protected 2015 first round pick to the Minnesota Timberwolves for Kevin Love.
According to soucres, Love will opt out of his contract and has a "firm agreement" with Cleveland to sign a 5 year $120 million extension next summer.

According to Stephen A Smith of ESPN's "First Take", Love has said that he would only re-sign with the Cavaliers which is why MInnesota lost leverage and received only two young players in the trade, both with limited NBA experience.
Minnesota will receive potential superstar in waiting Andrew Wiggins and I ask if the Cavs had as much leverage as being reported would there be any way to get Love without sending Wiggins to the Timberwolves.
