The Golden State Warriors are still in talks with the Minnesota Timberwolves about a possible trade centered on All-Star forward Kevin Love, ESPN reported on Friday.

Previous reports indicated that the Warriors and the Timberwolves were in deep talks about a trade that would send Love to Golden State before the 2014 NBA Draft, but nothing materialized on Thursday night.

Sources said that Timberwolves are still pushing for the inclusion of shooting guard Klay Thompson in the trade package along with David Lee in exchange for Love and Kevin Martin.

The Warriors looked prepared to part ways with Thompson last week, but ESPN reported that their executives are still split about the giving up the 24-year-old shooting guard, who averaged 18.4 points on 44.4 percent shooting last season.

"Hall of Fame consultant Jerry West and new Warriors coach Steve Kerr voiced opposition to surrendering both Thompson and a future first-round pick to the Timberwolves, along with former All-Star forward David Lee, for Love and Wolves guard Kevin Martin," ESPN's Marc Stein said.

Talks between the two teams reportedly progressed before the draft, but no 2014 picks were involved, which was the reason why the Warriors and Timberwolves found no reason to quickly strike a deal.

But aside from the Warriors, several teams are also expected to make a strong push to acquire the 25-year-old power forward, who is expected to be dealt after revealing his desire to test free agency in the summer of 2015.

According to reports, the Denver Nuggets and the Boston Celtics are also potential landing spots for Love, while the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Phoenix Suns are also pursuing the former UCLA standout.

The Nuggets reportedly offered Kenneth Faried, Wilson Chandler, and their 11th pick earlier this week, but the Timberwolves turned down the offer, while the Celtics allegedly offered a package involving their two first-round picks on Thursday's draft.

More teams are expected to make an offers once the Timberwolves become more active in shopping Love, but all teams are expected to ask for an assurance that Love will sign a long-term deal with them before giving up valuable assets in any deal.
