Kevin Love is the man of the moment. Central Division rivals Cleveland Cavaliers and Chicago Bulls are now locked into a hot pursuit of the former NBA rebound king.

The Chicago Bulls are now willing to include Taj Gibson, the 10^th overall pick Doug McDermott and even their wild card asset Nikola Mirotic in the package to Minnesota. The Bulls believe that if the Cavaliers could parade a Kevin Love and LeBron James combo, they are the clear favorites to take the East.

The report from Sheridan Hoops:

"The Chicago Bulls have offered a package of Taj Gibson and rookies Doug McDermott and Nikola Mirotic to the Minnesota Timberwolves for All-Star forward Kevin Love, a league source told SheridanHoops.com on Wednesday.

The package is extremely intriguing to the Timberwolves, but there is a catch; it cannot be completed for another 29 days because McDermott and Mirotic signed their rookie contracts Tuesday. NBA rules prohibit rookies from being traded within the first 30 days of inking their rookie deals."

The Chicago Sun Times had a similar report, the only caveat is that they did listed Mirotic's involvement as 'unconfirmed.'

Minnesota is now choosing between the Chicago, Cleveland and Golden State offers as it seems all three have Kevin Love's commitment that he will sign an extension with them.

The Bulls included Gibson eventually after they acquired Pau Gasol. They were wary of giving up Mirotic but the reality of their division rivals becoming a juggernaut might have driven them into panic mode.

At the same time, Western Conference dark horse Golden State Warriors have fallen short of a deep playoff run the past two years. They did not have a first round pick or significant cap space, so this trade is the only way they can improve their team.

Who do you think will win the Love sweepstakes? Will it eventually be Minnesota?
