Flip Saunders denied a report by Peter Vecsey that stated on Wednesday night that Kevin Love has alerted the Minnesota Timberwolves he will exercise the opt out clause in his contract in 2015 and sign elsewhere.

"Rumors of Love telling me he's opting out & wants 2 b traded r false," Saunders posted on his Twitter account. "Last convo I had w/ him was him telling me how bad my sports coat was."

The report stated Love is expected to be dealt before the trade deadline or in the offseason.

Love scored 42 points and grabbed 16 rebounds in the Timberwolves' victory over the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday.
