Adrian Wojnaroski, who reported that the Celtics were a trade destination for Kevin Love about a week ago, recently made this proclamation on twitter:

Hard to see how Houston makes a play, unless Morey pulls something stone cold like trading James Harden.

BleacherReport.com reports that 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.
 
The report emphasizes the roster as a major factor, since the Warriors would provide Love with a defensive center to cover up Love's shortcomings, and an array of shooters in Steph Curry and Klay Thompson to help spread the floor. One complication there is that any deal the Warriors would construct for Love would almost unilaterally have to include Thompson, who the Warriors have reportedly said is off the table.
 
The report also indicates that Love values a return to California where he's from over Houston, despite the Rockets' combination of Dwight Howard and James Harden.
 
It should be noted that the reporter sourced on Love's preference works for Comcast Bay Area which covers the Warriors and has significant ties to the team.
 
Before anyone gets too excited:
 
 
In truth, neither the Warriors nor the Rockets can provide a set of assets which the Timberwolves will find adequate for the All-Star power forward. They're seeking multiple assets and picks, which the Cavaliers, Bulls and Celtics can all provide.
