Kevin Love is in the final season of his contract with the Minnesota Timberwolves. He's been adamant about a trade, and there is no shortage of suitors. None. Zero shortage.

To add more to his storyline, Sporting News reports that there's likely to be a third team involved in the Love affair. 

When the Lakers and Magic pulled off the Dwight Howard trade in the summer of 2012, there wound up being four teams involved, with the Sixers and Nuggets adding players.

Sources told Sporting News that Philadelphia and Denver, again, are interested in participating in whatever deal happens for Love. Denver has interest in acquiring Love themselves, while the Sixers would like to facilitate a trade by including forward Thaddeus Young.

Sources told SN there are "more ants circling the picnic" and it's unlikely a trade for Love is a one-to-one situation.
