Kevin Love signed a new long-term deal with the Cleveland Cavaliers last summer, although the franchise has since turned its focus from competing to a complete rebuild.

Turning 31 later this year, Love doesn't match Cleveland's timeline to win, and Jordan Zirm of Uproxx believes the Thunder are among the contenders to sign the former All-Star:

Love not only adds a presence to play through in the post and stellar passing ability, but his ability to step out and hit the three would give Westbrook and George the spacing they desperately need to operate at full capacity.

In order to get a trade done, Zirm suggests that the Thunder will have to give up Steven Adams, Terrance Ferguson, and Hamidou Diallo. This would be a major risk, although Love would give the OKC a 'Big 3' and potentially the opportunity to compete for a title.
