When it comes to trade rumors, Kevin Love from the Cleveland Cavaliers still remains one of the most popular, with a new potential deal for him to be traded to the Atlanta Hawks for Paul Millsap.
According to the Ecumenical News, Love has often been a part of trade rumors ever since he became part of the Cavaliers. He has been rumored to be traded to various teams already, and more speculations are still being made in this off-season period. He is rumored to be connected to the Boston Celtics, Denver Nuggets and Phoenix Suns, but it seems that none of these teams will be able to take him away from the Cavaliers.
However, should he be traded away, he will most likely be traded to the Hawks. After all, trading Love for Millsap could benefit both of the teams. The Hawks have been searching for players that could help bolster their offensive capabilities, and they are most likely looking for Love's aid. Should he become part of Atlanta Hawks, he will be able to become one of the most powerful forwards in NBA once again, since he will have an option to become a top-scoring player in this team.
As for the Cavaliers, with Millsap around, their defensive capabilities will be boosted. Yibada points out that this 31-year-old will have a better time as a front liner for the champion team. Also, he will not have the pressure of getting more scores since LeBron James and Kyrie Irving will be leading the team's offense.
Lastly, it was rumored that Kevin Love is having some problems with the Cavaliers because a lot of fans are still expecting him to score a lot and help in the offense, much like his days with the Minnesota Timberwolves. However, with the aforementioned players, his performance might have deteriorated. As such, this trade will benefit him he most.
