Wolves giving up too much...Love and AK47 are the 2 best on the wolves.

Love and Ridnour would work for me. We keep AK and getting Burks could help.

Not too bad.
I am sick of Loves act, can't trade him now that he is injured.

Very Funny! Young top 10 player and a very good experienced team player for an old washed up injured PF and a punk Sg.

Sick of Dwight Howard, Lakers can deal with him.

According to sources, King was planning to contact the Minnesota Timberwolves in order to gauge their interest in a three-team trade that would send Kevin Love to the Lakers, Brook Lopez to the Timberwolves and Dwight Howard to the Nets. Other small pieces would need to be included, but the proposed trade was thought to be intriguing enough to start conversations in the Lakers front office that would force them to deal with Howard earlier than planned.

Now, before proceeding, it’s important to note that this rumor was instantly dismissed by the web’s foremost authority on all things Brooklyn Nets. Per Nets Daily:

In an email, received minutes after NetsDaily reported on the rumor, the source wrote, "Total BS, Jarrod What ever His Name Is just fabricated a story." The response was extraordinary and unprecedented in its speed and aggressiveness.

Later, a second Nets source said simply of the report, "Not true."

The bizarre vitriol notwithstanding, Rudolph’s suggestion actually makes a lot of sense. The big names involved automatically make any and all deals involved sound unrealistic – but that’s a really amateur way of looking at this. Something being unlikely isn’t the same thing as it being unrealistic. Yes, highly-paid big names are hard to move; no they aren’t impossible to move. Did anyone see Steve Nash landing with the Lakers prior to this summer? Did anyone see the Pau Gasol trade happening before it happened? What about the Nets’ acquisition of Joe Johnson, who was whispering about that prior to the deal going down?

This trade sort of makes sense. Really, it’s contingent on how much the Timberwolves value Brook Lopez. It’s no secret that they covet Gasol and want to pair him with their little Spanish point guard, however, it remains to be seen if they respect Lopez’s skills in that way. Kevin Love’s displeasure with his squad is a matter of public record. Ditto with Howard’s apparent unhappiness with the Lakers. The deal works on both of those ends. It really would all come down to whether or not Minnesota wants Lopez.

Will this happen? Probably not, as is the case with most big deals. Did Billy King at least make calls to see if it was possible? Most likely, yeah.
