According to a tweet from Boston Herald reporter Steve Bulpett, the Denver Nuggets have made the Minnesota Timberwolves an offer for Kevin Love:

Sources: in addition to Wilson Chandler and Kenneth Faried, Denver offering Minnesota a player they would acquire (Arron Afflalo) for Love.

This would certainly get Minnesota some talented players to help them reload, but a lack of future draft picks in the deal is a curious omission, and (one would think) would be a dealbreaker. Denver could be just laying the foundation, though, and will presumably up their offer in the coming days and weeks.

This is really just the beginning of possible deals for Love, who has pretty much every team in the NBA coming after him. With the draft coming up, expect talks and rumors to intensify.
