After much speculation that Kevin Love is heavily being considered to be traded off by the Cleveland Cavaliers, there are now reports surfacing that Cavs are in no way toying with the idea of parting with their superstar power forward.
It can be recalled that rumors stemmed from Love's less than ideal performance during the last postseason as well as hints that the team is wanting to devote the position to LeBron James.
A report by Basketball Insiders cited a source that dismissed the rumors saying that trading Love "is not even remotely a consideration". However, there are admitted teams who are interested in acquiring him to beef up their rosters.
Meanwhile, the competition between the Cavs and the Warriors seems like it has not ended on the Finals arena as it has been reported that the two teams both want to acquire Milwaukee Bucks center Greg Monroe.
It has been reported that the Warriors want to sign Monroe to reinforce their power quartet made up of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green and Kevin Durant who joined them from the OKC Thunder.
However, it seems like the Cavs stand a better chance of landing the center mainly because the Warriors would have to part with players like Andre Iguodala in order to afford Monroe. The report cited that the salary cap of the Warriors are pretty much depleted after acquiring Durant.
The Cavs meanwhile, will be a good fit for Monroe's playing style, because of his strong rebounding skills as well as his ability with the ball in the low post.
"He is a strong rebounder and does well with the ball in the low post. He may be better off contributing as a veteran on a contending team, rather than as the center of a young Bucks team looking to play a faster, more agile brand of basketball," Bleacher Report's Nate Loop said.
