The latest wave of NBA trade rumors speaks of Cleveland Cavaliers power forward Kevin Love and his potential move to the Boston Celtics. But his fate in the trades will be determined by the NBA finals.
There's word going around that Love will be brought to the Green if the Cavs will lose the championship against the Golden State Warriors, who has the upper hand after winning the first two games.
As per the latest NBA trade rumors, the Cavaliers will be trading him off so that they can take in players who they deem will better opponents to LeBron James on the field, fortifying the team and helping them reduce the chances of falling short from the championship.
Love, in turn, is expected to be traded off to the Celtics, who already showed their interest in him after making attempts to get him during the deadline back in February.
For a while, Love is lost when it came to his role on his team, until newly appointed head coach Tyron Lue built him up into a shooter. Still, it is said the chemistry still isn't there, thus, putting him the first person in the trading block.
Should Celtics get the chance again, it is believed that it will not hesitate in finally having Love on the team. The Cavs, on the other hand, are expected to look at Phoenix Suns, particularly shooting guard Devin Booker, to fill in the gap.
Other NBA trade rumors also point to Jimmy Butler's move to Celtics. The team has reportedly taken interest of the Chicago Bulls shooting guard, which makes sense seeing the legacy he is trying to build for himself.
Butler has already played in the NBA All-Star Game twice and has received the Most Improved Player honor last year. For the regular season, his stats (20.9 points, 5.3 rebounds, 4.8 assists, shot 45.5 percent from the field in 36.9 minutes playing time per game) are sure to impress.
Wrapping up Celtics' NBA trade line-up prospects is the most ambitious of them all. The Green is reportedly looking to get Oklahoma City Thunder superstar Kevin Durant and will do so aggressively.
