Well, it didn't take long for the LeBron news to become official for Kevin Love's camp to start leaking new information.

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Kevin Love is "intrigued" by the idea of being traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers and would commit long-term to the team, a source close to the situation told ESPN.com's Marc Stein.

The Cavaliers have opened talks by offering guard Dion Waiters, forward Anthony Bennett and a first-round pick to the Timberwolves in exchange for Love, sources told ESPN The Magazine's Chris Broussard.

That's cute, Cleveland. Change Bennett to Andrew Wiggins, and we're really getting somewhere. You can't have it all. But if you had Love, Irving and LeBron, you would have the makings of a pretty sweet Big Three.
