Kevin Love is expected to be a subject of numerous trade rumors this summer, and the Minnesota Timberwolves forward is reportedly interested in moving to the Golden State Warriors.

According to Ric Bucher of Bleacher Report, Love's possible destination is still unknown at this point, but sources indicated that the 25-year-old forward will choose the Warriors over other possible suitors like the Houston Rockets.

"Kevin Love's preferred destination in trade is still an evolving situation, but that if the choice were to come down to the Golden State Warriors or the Houston Rockets, Love would prefer the Warriors," Bucher said via CBS Sports.

Love is reportedly intrigued with the Warriors' roster because he is interested in manning the frontline with defensive centers David Lee and Andrew Bogut, while also playing alongside shooters like Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson.

The All-Star power forward is also interested in teaming up with Rockets superstar Dwight Howard and James Harden, but he wants to return to California instead of moving to Houston.

However, CBS Sports analyst Matt Moore believes that both the Warriors and the Rockets have no significant assets to convince the Timberwolves to trade the former UCLA standout.

If the Timberwolves eventually decide to trade Love, Moore reported that the Cleveland Cavaliers, Boston Celtics, and the Chicago Bulls have the best chance of acquiring the six-year veteran.

"Neither the Warriors nor the Rockets can provide a set of assets which the Timberwolves will find adequate for the All-Star power forward," Moore wrote. "They're seeking multiple assets and picks, which the Cavaliers, Bulls and Celtics can all provide. Love was in Boston over the weekend visiting, sparking a firestorm of discussion on if he was scouting the town as a potential landing spot."

It is still unknown at this point what the Timberwolves intend to do this summer, but most analysts are convinced that they will eventually trade Love this summer or before next season's trade deadline instead of losing him for nothing next summer.

Love, who averaged 26.1 points and 12.5 rebounds this season, will become an unrestricted free agent next summer.
