NBA 2018-19: 3 Players the Cavaliers need to trade away

#1 Kevin Love

Love joined the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2014

LeBron James' move to Los Angles has left Kevin Love as the only remaining All-Star on the Cavaliers roster. The former Timberwolves man has missed most of the current season through injury, and the Cavs have struggled badly without their star player.

The 5 time NBA All-Star recently turned 30, so Love is now firmly in the prime of his career. Love probably has little desire in wasting his remaining prime years playing for a franchise that is at the beginning of a rebuild and is unlikely to reach the playoffs in the next three seasons.

Love could be a good pick up for a number of playoff contenders in both the Eastern and Western Conferences, and interest would be high in the 30-year-old. Love is by far the Cavaliers most valued player, and the franchise could ask for high draft picks in return for the power forward.

A trade makes sense for both parties as it will allow Love to play on a team that is trying to compete, whereas the Cavs can accelerate their complete rebuild with the additional draft picks they should receive.
