Reports suggest that Celveland Cavaliers forward Kevin Love could be offloaded this season.

“One player that a lot of teams have on their radar (is) Kevin Love in Cleveland,” Wojnarowski said on SportsCenter.

“He’s signed for another three years and there are a lot of teams, especially in the West, who would like more size to get in that championship chase, and I’m told that Cleveland is ready now to listen to offers on Kevin Love… If somebody blows them away with an offer, this is a team clearly still in a rebuild.

“He’s going to be a player very much in demand, and I think there’s going to be a lot of conversations between Cleveland and teams all over the league about Love.”

Love has been involved in many rumours since the departure of LeBron James. The main reason for it being he could be a good addition to teams that would be looking to compete in the post season.
