The Cavaliers management wanted to build the team around Kevin Love this season, however, the All-Star is currently out with an injury, and has played in just four games this season. During his limited time on the court, Love also failed to light up the NBA, shooting just .323 from the field.

The Cavs successfully agreed on a new four-year max contract with Love during the 2018 offseason, however, this contract was agreed upon while Cleveland believed that they could still contend. This is evidently not the case now, and the organisation will now want to move the 30-year-old on, as the team looks to acquire promising young players and draft picks.

With that said, Love is still a 5-time All-Star, and a number of teams such as the OKC Thunder may be interested. Ultimately, Love's value may continue to decrease, and the Cavs should look to trade the veteran away while he still has value.
