Rumors are flying that the Golden State Warriors have offered Klay Thompson, David Lee and a future first-round draft pick to the Minnesota Timberwolves for Kevin Love and Kevin Martin.
The rumor reportedly originated from Klay's father Mychal Thompson on ESPN's LA radio station. Thompson reportedly told ESPNLA710 that the trade was imminent, and that his sources "know what's going on up there".
Mycah Thompson, Klay's father, said: '#Warriors will get Kevin Love and Kevin Martin, #TWolves will get Thompson, Lee and 1st round pick"

UPDATE: ESPN's Marc Stein confirms that the Warriors have made Thompson available to Minnesota, but does not confirm that a deal is imminent:

UPDATE 2: Yahoo's NBA Insider Marc Spears confirms Stein's report, and also discusses Thompson's willingness to agree to the trade:
So why would Klay Thompson be OK with being dealt to Wolves? Thompson seeking a max deal that could be easier to get w/Wolves, source said.

We're looking into this further and will have more details when they become available. This rumor has NOT been confirmed, and should still be treated as speculation.
