In case you didn’t know…
After joining the Cavs back in 2014, Love played a key role as the team reached the NBA Finals in four consecutive seasons. Following the departure of LeBron James last summer, Love signed a new four-year, $120 million with the organization, although the Cavs have since fallen out of contention, and are on course to post one of the worst records in the East for a second consecutive year.
The heart of the matter
While the Cavaliers have made a poor start to the season, Love has excelled, averaging 17.9 points, 11.8 rebounds, and 2.7 assists per game. The Trail Blazers struggled this season, although adding Love alongside CJ McCollum, Damian Lillard, and Carmelo Anthony could transform the 2019 Western Conference Finalists into contenders. With Jusuf Nurkic closing in on a return, losing Whiteside wouldn’t hurt the Trail Blazers, and the team should go all out to land the former All-Star.
What’s next?
The Trail Blazers will be in action later tonight as they take on the Oklahoma City Thunder. Meanwhile, the Cavs will face off against the Orlando Magic.
