"Don't even think about it Rob," wrote one fan.
"He a Laker on a vet minimum,' wrote another.
"Reunion with Bron in La makes the most sense," said one user.
"He will sign with the lakers to play with LeBron. But would love to have him back on the Wolves one last time," said another user.
"Definitely a Laker. Coming back home to end it with LeBron," chimed in one more.

As Love weighs his options, the collective voice of fans on X suggests a Lakers signing could be the next chapter in his storied career--pending the execution of the buy-out.
