I disagree if you can get Kevin Love GET HIM.
ha that to lol!!!!Dont forget Kevin Loves 53 game double double streak.
If Love wants to come to LAL, it's doubtful he'll bolt as a FA. I'd grab him; a blue chip rookie would be great but as they've signed Kobe for another two years they'll want to compete and having Kobe, Love and someone for Nash's expiring/retired player contract means they'll at least make the playoffs.
For T-Wolves it means a reset but Rubio is still young and Pek isn't old either. And it's better than him just bolting.

DONE:
Steve Blake to Lakers for Kent Bazemore and Marshon Brooks
Marcus Thornton to Nets for Jason Terry and Reggie Evans
Thought Blake was already a Laker?
I'd say he means Brooks and Bazemore to LAL for Blake. Pretty low-stakes trade.
A low end trade that could mean the lakers getting below the salary cap. It was widely reported that if the Lakers moved Gasol for Okafor we were less than $2m away from the Salary cap, so this could be a sign that there may be something else brewing in the background. Marshon stays on the books next season for only $600k, while Bazemore becomes a FA this summer. I think for that price his untapped potential could be worth a shot.
Oh, don't get me wrong however as love said today "wolves are a better team than the lakers". If this is the case, why would a free agent want to come to a bad situation? Ideally, wipe the books clean, Kobe + Top 5 Rookie + free agent - Tax implications = fast rebuild. One thing I didn't mention is that being in the repeater tax means you don't have the Mid Level Exception available to it's full amount to sign players, nor can you take on any extra salary in a trade so having this status makes it incredibly difficult for the Lakers to make a quick rebuild.
Pacers have traded Granger to the 76ers for Turner and Allen.
