I hope Flip holds a firm line insisting on Wiggins. If the Cavs want Love in uniform day 1 then Wiggins needs to be involved otherwise Flip might as well wait until the trade deadline for a Waiters centric package in February that'll probably still be available.
Pretty sure Houston HAS to move Jones and a few other salaries to lock up Bosh AND Parsons. So yes, Houston WOULD and WILL move Jones for a 2nd round pick.

MIN: Wiggins' rights, Bennett, Hopson, Haywood, Varejao (with verbal agreement of declining team option) and Miami's 2015 1st round pick.
CLE: Love, Martin (from Ohio, reliable shooter)
Then we take on Terrence Jones from Houston for a couple 2nd rounders. Varejao gets a new deal with Cleveland after waiting however long he'd need to wait under the CBA. We come away with Wiggins, Jones, Bennett and 2015 MIA 1st and a little more wiggle room cap-wise.

I have absolutely no doubt that Flip will NOT trade Love to the Cavs without getting Wiggins in return unless there is a third team involved that lands a top young veteran at least as good as Klay Thompson. In other words, expect Wiggins to join the Timberwolves soon.
