Former UCLA Bruin and current member of the Minnesota Timberwolves, Kevin Love, was named to the All-NBA Second Team today. It is the second time the power forward from Oswego, Oregon has made the All-NBA Team. In 2011-12, he was named to the Second Team. This season, Love put up some spectacular numbers worthy of the honor, averaging 26.1 PTS, 12.5 REBS, 4.4 ASTS, 0.5 BLKS, 0.8 STLS and .457 FG%.

Despite his spectacular season, it had recently been reported that Love may not want to be in Minnesota much longer. Speculation of the Timberwolves trading Love, before or on the day of the NBA Draft, has been floating around the blogosphere the past few weeks. If true, there is a large population of UCLA fans that would not mind seeing Love play with the Los Angeles Lakers and Kobe Bryant next year. Although, it has been stated that there are several other possible destinations for Love and many believe the Boston Celtics would be a prime landing spot for the 5-year veteran. Still, if anyone can land Love, regardless of what they give up, said team will be coming out on top with that deal.
