Timberwolves’ Kevin Martin Didn’t Know Kevin Love Got Traded

Kevin Love’s trade to the Cleveland Cleveland for No.1 pick Andrew Wiggins was one of the most talked about and drawn out moves of the NBA offseason.  Word traveled fast that the two teams were looking to make the deal. However, that doesn’t mean it applied to those most involved in the deal. According to one of Kevin Love’s former teammates, Kevin Martin, he didn’t find out about the deal until the day before media day.

“I didn’t know Kevin Love got traded until yesterday,” Martin said with a straight face at Monday’s annual media day. “I’m not big on looking at blogs and all that.”

We’re pretty sure it wasn’t just bloggers who were discussing the deal. Martin later explained that it was all a joke and he was just trying to break the ice on media day.
