Minnesota is awesome to live in any month. Don’t blame our state just because you’re a pussy and can’t get your toesie-woesies cold.

Once he hung out with LBJ, Wade, Melo and CP3 this summer on team USA they got in his ear and ran the strong arm your team playbook they ran.
He’l bolt if they aren’t making deep runs in the playoffs soon. Same for Kyrie, once he hangs with those me first guys in this all star game, the whispers will start.

Injuries and a lack of a guaranteed contract have a strange way of making some players want
to resign with teams they dished.

He got a max deal, just for four years not five. Rubio will get five.

If he’s the face of the franchise, why didn’t they pay him as such? By denying him the max deal he earned, they guaranteed his departure.

I live in Minnesota and can tell you first hand that Love’s disdain for Kahn has been WELL DOCUMENTED FOR YEARS. All Wolves fans already know this and mostly(completely) agree with him. In that regard, the national media outlets haven’t “reported” anything that wasn’t already common knowledge locally from the team’s beat writers.

This real issue? All those “Love is unhappy in Minnesota, “Love doesn’t want to play for Minnesota”, Kevin Love wants to be traded from Minnesota” headlines are what tripped up Wolves fans.

There has never been a direct quote, locally or nationally, stating this. It’s the media types, other FOs, and teams’ fans that are projecting that. Even Yahoo’s Wojo-whatever his name is felt compelled to admit through Twitter that Kevin actually only had positive things to say about the fans, state, and his current teammates after the backlash from that little novela he wrote in December. He conveniently left that stuff out. It didn’t quite fit his storyline, I guess.

Anyone who claims to love being in Minnesota in February is either lying or has succumbed to winter madness.

Love’s had plenty of time to brush up on his PR-speak. He’ll be a Laker in 2 more seasons.

I don’t buy anything a player says to the local media. It’s suicide to speak otherwise.

I would fire Khan to appease Love at this point. They obviously have a negative relationship.

Liar…noone likes being in Minnesota, especially in Winter.
