NBA trade rumors are one of the favorite topics in the offseason. According to reports, Cleveland Cavaliers and Sacramento Kings might do a trade for Kevin Love and DeMarcus Cousins.
Sacramento Kings has been associated with several NBA trade talks. Parent Herald previously reported that the Kings is in a three-way trade talk with Milwaukee Bucks and Brooklyn Nets involving Rudy Gay and DeMarcus Cousins.
However, other sources claimed that Kings is also in a three-way trade talk with the Cleveland Cavaliers and Phoenix Sun, also involving DeMarcus Cousins and Kevin Love. Looks like Kings is determined to part ways with Boogie.
According to Inquisitr, the Cavs and Kings are determined to pursue the trade even without the Suns. The two teams are considering to trade power forward and center Kevin Love with center DeMarcus Cousins.
SportsRageous reported that LeBron James is calling for the Cavs to trade Kevin Love for DeMarcus Cousins. Love is having a hard time finding his position and role in the team. Per the report, Love wants more minutes in a position that James dominated. His poor performance in the last NBA finals makes thing worse for him.
Meanwhile, DeMarcus Cousins has maintained the center position in his entire NBA career, but he has the potential to play power forward, if necessary. Tristan Thompson is also skilled for the two positions. So, adding Boogie in Cavs will give the team's front line more flexibility.
At the time, more teams show interest in acquiring DeMarcus Cousins. In fact, Parent Herald reported that Chicago Bulls is also interested in getting Boogie after learning that he scored huge points in the Rio Olympics 2016.
Meanwhile, the Kings is still struggling to rebuild their team for the forthcoming NBA season after losing Rajon Rondo, who is now with Dwayne Wade in Chicago Bulls. Many believe that adding Kevin Love to Kings' roster will help the team to be more competitive in the Eastern Conference.
