The Cavaliers front office still likes the team they have now.
Throughout the summer, there have been consistent rumors of the Cavs possibly trading Kevin Love, but the rumors are just that and nothing more.
Once again, there are some silly trade rumors. I’ve been told since the middle of last season the Cavs have no intention of trading Love. And the same is true after the title.
Had the Cavs collapsed in the playoffs, certainly a trade of Love or almost anyone not named LeBron James would have been possible. But the goal for General Manager David Griffin has been to “bring back the band,” as he’s called it several times. Love is not going anywhere as the training camp looms late in September
Trading Love makes no sense coming off a championship. Had the Cavs for the second year in a row against the Warriors then the rumors would make sense. Despite his struggles in the playoffs, he played a key role getting the Cavs to the playoffs averaging 16 points and 9.9 rebounds per game last season.
