MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 20 (UPI) -- After reporter Peter Vecsey went on a Twitter rant saying that Kevin Love has told Flip Saunders that he will opt out of his contract in the summer of 2015, the Minnesota Timberwolves general manager fired back with a tweet of his own.
Rumors of Love telling me he's opting out & wants 2 b traded r false. Last convo I had w/ him was him telling me how bad my sports coat was.

Wolves fans' nightmare has come true, earlier than scheduled. We knew Love'd split ASA eligible '14-15. But now he's forcing premature exit

Prior 2 AS break, KL alerted Flip he'll exercise summer '15 out & sign elsewhere. Expect him 2B moved B4 deadline or off season

Smart money supports educated speculation Circulating KL wants 2 play 4 Lakes. He's comfortable in LA. Played 4 UCLA. Girlfriend's in LA...
