Kevin Love had yet another double-double in Minnesota's loss to New Orleans on Friday night.

He has notched a double-double in 45 straight games, just six short of Moses Malone's 51-game run spanning the 1978-79 and 1979-80 seasons.

Love had 11 points and 14 rebounds against the Hornets.

The Rockets and Wolves are in trade talks centered around Jonny Flynn, according to sources.

Either Aaron Brooks or Jared Jeffries would be involved in the deal.

Minnesota is engaged in trade talks with other teams about Flynn as well.

Eddy Curry has begun to workout with Tim Grover in Chicago.

Curry was traded by the Knicks to Minnesota this week and will receive a buyout.

Curry is motivated to get into shape and sign a new contract.

The Timberwolves are interested in Jazz guard Raja Bell, according to a league source.

With the Jazz rebuilding in the wake of their trade of Deron Williams, looking to clear a veteran like Bell is a logical next step.

Carmelo Anthony is now officially a member of the New York Knicks.

The three-way trade involving the Knicks, Nuggets and Wolves has been approved by the league office and announced formally.

Going to New York with Anthony are Chauncey Billups, Anthony Carter, Renaldo Balkman and Shelden Williams, along with Corey Brewer from Minnesota.

The Nuggets have acquired Wilson Chandler, Raymond Felton, Danilo Gallinari and Timofey Mozgov from the Knicks, along with Kosta Koufos from the Wolves.

Minnesota has received the expiring contract of Eddy Curry and Anthony Randolph, plus a second round pick from Denver.

Denver also acquires New York's first round pick 2014, second round picks in 2012 and 2013, plus cash.

As first reported by RealGM, the Nuggets will also acquire two traded player exceptions. The largest exception will be worth approximately $17.15 million. The Nuggets were originally going to acquire four traded player exceptions, but the inclusion of Kosta Koufos changed the equation.

The Celtics pursued Corey Brewer before he was traded to the Knicks, according to sources.

Boston has been looking for depth on the wing following the injury to Marquis Daniels.

According to Ken Berger, the draft pick that would be sent to Denver as part of a blockbuster trade for Carmelo Anthony among the Knicks, Nuggets and Timberwolves would be New York's own 2014 first-round selection.

There had been some confusion about whether Minnesota would convey one of the multiple picks the team controls to Denver in the deal.  But it appears that the purpose of the Timberwolves' inclusion is to absorb Eddy Curry's contract, saving the Nuggets the luxury tax bill.  In exchange, Anthony Randolph would land in Minnesota.

Curry would be released by the Timberwolves.

David Kahn had an interesting comment to the Star Tribune's Jerry Zgoda on Thursday.

"There is no more rebuilding," said Kahn. "There are no more wholesale changes. I like a lot of players on the team."

Minnesota currently has a 13-43 record, which gives them the worst winning percentage in the Western Conference. They rank 24th in points scored per 100 possessions and 28th in points allowed per 1000 possessions.

The Knicks and Wolves have a deal in place to send Anthony Randolph and Roger Mason to Minnesota in exchange for a late first round pick.

Sources say the deal is on hold until New York determines what will happen with the Nuggets in regards to Carmelo Anthony. Denver is reportedly interested in acquiring Anthony.

The Timberwolves are one of the teams that have called the Suns to check on the availability of Steve Nash, reports Marc Stein.

Minnesota is well aware that Nash has only one year left on his contract and would likely leave after the 2011-12 season.

Phoenix isn't inclined to trading Nash and blowing up their entire roster.

The Wolves won't offer Ricky Rubio to the Suns as part of any package for Nash because their ideal scenario would be to acquire Nash as a mentor to the Spanish point guard.
