Lakers trade rumors are a trending topic on the Internet right now, with many people wondering who the team could deal leading up to the Thursday afternoon trade deadline.
Let’s take a look at some of the rumors:
-The Lakers want to snag Kevin Love from the Minnesota Timberwolves, reported CBS, along with the Dallas Mavericks. However, neither team has put together a deal that the Timberwolves like so far. Love is set to become a free agent in July 2015.

-Pau Gasol, the subject of many trade rumors, could still be dealt. He isn’t happy about all the rumors, telling ESPN: “It fills up a lot of pages and [expletive airtime]. ”It’s something that’s there and there’s potential that it might happen. Who knows?.” Gasol said that he hopes that he doesn’t get traded. The Charlotte Bobcats are a rumored player for Gasol, but a source downplayed the likelihood to the Charlotte Observer.

With tax hit on Hill $3.5M deal, cost to Nets: $17M,” he said. “Not an easy sell.”
-Steve Blake has been rumored as possibly on the block, and connected with the Golden State Warriors.
