Unless you get your sports news from a sports anchor at a TV station in Maine, you are inclined to believe a possible Kevin Love/Andrew Wiggins trade is not exactly a done deal.

But that doesn't mean nothing is happening, as both ESPN's Marc Stein and Yahoo's NBA guru Woj have advanced the ball, so to speak, with reporting today.

First, per ESPN, which had their report up first:

The Cleveland Cavaliers are firmly in the lead to acquire Kevin Love but the Chicago Bulls are making a renewed push to get into the trade mix for the All-Star power forward, according to sources close to the process.

Sources told ESPN.com the Cavs are increasingly optimistic that they are progressing toward a trade framework that the Minnesota Timberwolves will accept in exchange for Love to pair him with his Team USA teammate LeBron James.

Cleveland's offer, sources said, would be headlined by No. 1 overall pick Andrew Wiggins, 2013′s No. 1 overall pick Anthony Bennett and a future first-round pick. At least one more player might have to added to the package to satisfy NBA trade rules.

Now, per Woj:

The Cleveland Cavaliers are pursuing trade components to include as part of a package with Minnesota to acquire All-Star forward Kevin Love, league sources told Yahoo Sports. Cleveland's discussions with Minnesota have escalated with the Cavaliers' willingness to include No. 1 overall pick Andrew Wiggins in the deal, sources said.

Minnesota wants a package for Love to include guard J.J. Barea, who has $4.5 million left on his expiring deal – and possibly guard Kevin Martin, who has three years and $21 million left. As part of a larger deal, the Cavaliers want to include 2013 No. 1 overall pick Anthony Bennett and a future No. 1 pick for Love.

So where do we stand? Well, about where we were 24 hours ago, but on firmer ground. It sounds like a Cavs/Wolves trade is certainly in play and possibly progressing nicely toward reality. It sounds like the principles involved — Love for Wiggins, Bennett and a No. 1 pick — remain consistent. And it sounds like the work that still needs to be done is making the salaries match with other pieces. If that's all that remains, we're not at "done deal" yet, but we're getting closer.
