Love on 1500ESPN - Saying All the Right Things

Mike and Mike just had a segment focusing on K. Love and his status with the Timberwolves. K. Love is co-hosting the show from 5am - 9am (I'm impressed he's putting in 4 hours of radio this early in the morning).

K. Love seemed to answer everything the "right way" as far as we T-Wolves fans are concerned. He said he didn't handle the Yahoo! article communication maturely and in the future will follow proper protocol for communications. He also handled a question about D. Kahn saying he lost the respect of his teammates (based on handling his injuries last season) and K. Love didn't disagree with that. K. Love stated his team relationship off the court is great, but he has to get back and prove himself on the court again. K. Love followed up with saying he held no ill will towards D. Kahn based on Kahn's statement and added that he loves Minneapolis, implying he want to stay here. Mike & Mike wrapped up the segment by asking if K. Love would like to team up in a "Big 3" arrangement (like Miami) to compete for a Championship. K. Love gracefully said that would be nice, but he feels we have a bit of a Big 3 developing with R. Rubio (who K. Love recognized as a fierce, fierce competitor) and N. Pekovic (provided he's re-signed).

While all this talk is music to my slate blue and silver ears, I'm still not 100% convinced that this is a sign of maturity versus some brain washed spin doctoring. But hey, I'll drink the blue kool-aid.

Apparently K. Love is going to "interview" F. Saunders at 8;15AM (Central Time) and that should prove to be compelling radio as well.
