The New York Knicks are interested in trading for Kevin Love, a source tells the New York Post.

The Knicks believe they have the expiring contracts in Tyson Chandler and Iman Shumpert in particular that the Minnesota Timberwolves might be interested in acquiring to preserve cap space, according to the report.

The Knicks can't trade a first round pick until 2018.

In the media at large, New York is widely considered an extreme darkhorse to acquire Love this offseason.
