Rumors have surfaced about the highly-anticipated Kevin Love trade from the Minnesota Timberwolves to the Cleveland Cavaliers. According to USA Today sources, the Kevin Love deal is expected to be finalized on Saturday.
While Cavaliers' fans may rejoice about the Kevin Love trade rumor, Philadelphia 76ers' followers might end up with a broken heart. Cavaliers' forward and 2013 top pick Anthony Bennett is rumored to stay with the Timberwolves.
Bennett will play alongside Andrew Wiggins and Thaddeus Young and a trade exception said to be worth more than five million dollars.
The 76ers will get Luc Mbah a Moute and Alexey Shved from Minnesota and a rookie from the 2014 first-round pick from the Miami Heat. Meanwhile, the Cavaliers are shaping to be the team to look out for after landing with four-time NBA MVP LeBron James, Kyrie Irving plus there is the Kevin Love trade rumors.
In the July 17 report from Bob Finnan of The News-Herald, the Cavs are reportedly trading shooting guard Andrew Wiggins for Love. The report also stated that "Love is an All-Star caliber player now. The union of James, Kyrie Irving and Love could be a championship in the making."
With the strong playing skills of these three players on the hard court, sports analysts can see Cavaliers as a force to reckon with in this season of the NBA.
For this upcoming NBA season, Love can possibly get $15.7 million. He can also turn to an unrestricted free agent after the 2014 - 2015 season.
However, the 76ers remain in their quest to rebuild the team after losing their best player during a terrible game last season.
Meanwhile, the Cavs seems to be getting a good deal with Love, and having James and Irving on the team changes the odds for Cleveland, according to analysts.
James announced his decision to bid his championship team Miami Heat goodbye in July, not expecting that Love would also join his home state team.
