There is no doubt that the upcoming NBA season will be more fun, exciting and unforgettable. NBA enthusiasts have been following its progress this offseason, from the NBA trade rumors to players hitting the free agency market.
According to the latest NBA trade buzz, Cleveland Cavaliers is now ready to trade Kevin Love. Meanwhile, Gordon Hayward may leave Utah Jazz and choose the free agency next summer.
Kevin Love has been a favorite pick in the NBA trade rumors, this is despite Cleveland Cavaliers denials that they are not trading their power forward. Reports have it that LeBron James has called Cavs to trade Love for Nerlens Noel.
However, the team denied such reports claiming that they wish to keep the same roster that delivers Cavs its first NBA title. But the reports about Cavs trading Kevin Love is not dying.
Per Bleacher Report, Kevin Love is only fifth in Cleveland Cavaliers most valuable players. The team has LeBron James, Kyrie Irving, Tristan Thompson and J.R. Smith, who has not resigned yet.
Per the report, Kevin Love is more talented than Tristan Thompson and J.R. Smith. Unfortunately, his scoring abilities and defensive shortcomings do not fit his teammates.
Although Kevin Love has always been linked to NBA trade rumor this season, Terry Pluto stressed that the team is not trading its center and power forward player. Pluto said that Love has improved and is in the best place physically and mentally. Cavs has never ever considered trading Kevin Love.
Meanwhile, Gordon Hayward is one of the promising players in the NBA league today but his months with Utah Jazz is numbered. Per Salt Lake Tribune Hayward will opt out of his final year with Jazz.
Reports have it that Gordon Hayward has still $16.7 million player option with Utah Jazz for the NBA 2017-18 season but the player is expected to decline and join the free agency market in the summer. In this way, Hayward can maximize his contract and earn more.
