Kevin Love informs Wolves he will test FA.

Kevin Love has made it clear to the Timberwolves that he intends to become an unrestricted free agent after next season and has no interest in a contract extension this summer to stay in Minnesota, according to sources with knowledge of the situation.
Although sources say Love has stopped short of demanding a trade, his position could effectively force the Timberwolves to deal the All-Star forward before next season -- or before the trade deadline in February 2015 at the latest -- if they hope to dodge the risk of losing him without compensation.
No mention of us, and I doubt we would be interested, but a boy can dream...

Gordon for Love

I'll give Love this much... he's going about it the right way and the front office *coughDAVIDKHANcough* completely dropped the ball with him.
He's telling them he'll leave via FA yet is apparently giving the team wide latitude with where he can be sent (Warriors, Rockets, Bulls, Lakers, Suns, more). He's also made it clear for a while now he wasn't happy, so this isn't exactly a shock.
He's not being wishy-washy like Howard, trying to play both side of the fence by pushing to go while claiming he's happy there like CP3, or freezing ownership out of his plans while demanding a winner like Lebron.
I don't know if he gets dealt this offseason but him being the only big star who could be traded and a number of teams having assets means there could be a legit bidding war, unlike what happened with CP3, Howard, etc.
Melo was in a bidding war but that was mainly James Dolan bidding against himself.
Utah sold short on Deron Williams to prevent a distraction, completing a deal with the Nets with no public notice beforehand.
Howard's bidding wars fell apart because he kept changing his mind.
CP3's bidding war was limited between "basketball reasons" and the markets he wanted to go to.
