The Kevin Love Trade Rumors Are Heating Up

Make no mistake about it, there's going to be a ton of movement coming in the NBA over the course of the next couple months. The trade deadline is set for March 25th and one name you can expect to see moved well before then....Kevin Love of the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The 32-year-old Love has appeared in only two games so far this season and is averaging 9.5 points and 6.0 rebounds. The power-forward has two years left on his contract that sees him paid roughly $30 million per season. Last season Love almost averaged a double double with over 17 points per game, if healthy he can certainly be a reliable #2-3 option.

REPORT: The Nets are in “active discussions” with the Cavs to trade for JaVale McGee. They also have interest in Kevin Love. 👀

Love is currently out with a calf injury and is expected back available in the near future. His numbers so far this year are not a reflection of his capabilities but there's certainly been a drop off in his production over the years and there's always going to be a level of concern with his health. With two years left and big money on his ticket, it's going to be tricky for the Cavs to deal him.

Along with Brooklyn, expect the Toronto Raptors, New York Knicks, Denver Nuggets, Utah Jazz and Memphis Grizzlies to contact the Cavs.
