The Golden State Warriors may be ready to break up their sweet shooting backcourt for a chance to have Kevin Love as their power forward.
According to Serena Winters of ESPN.com, Mychal Thompson, the father of Warriors shooting guard Klay Thompson, says his sources have Klay going to the Timberwolves for Love.

Love would of course have to agree to signing a max deal in Golden State. The Warriors would then be banking on Harrison Barnes finally taking the steps to being the smooth, athletic wing guard they envisioned when drafting him.
Getting Martin back in the deal would definitely offset the loss of Thompson’s shooting prowess.
