NBA trade rumors: Calling BS on stars allegedly ‘on the block’
Kevin Love
It just keeps getting worse for the Cleveland Cavaliers. They can’t win, half the roster is worried about being traded, and Kevin Love is supposedly faking sickness. Seriously, this is the perfect recipe for a midseason collapse if there ever was one.
The Cleveland Cavaliers held an emotional team meeting prior to Monday’s practice, where several players challenged the legitimacy of Kevin Love leaving OKC loss on Saturday ill and missing Sunday’s practice, league sources tell ESPN.

Not long ago, it seemed like players such as Tristan Thompson, J.R. Smith and Iman Shumpert were most likely to be dealt. Now, however, we’re starting to get the sense that it could be Love who’s shown the door.
If things like the below keep happening, it may be in the team’s best interests if a new home is found for the power forward.
Clearly, there are some poor opinions of Love in the Cavaliers locker room right now.
Plus, as we all know, Love has been the subject of trade rumors for years. Cleveland has managed to retain him up to this point, but it’s bound to happen sooner or later. With the Cavaliers roster desperately in need of a shakeup, moving Love could help this Eastern Conference contender get back on track.
Don’t be surprised if Love is wearing a different jersey by Feb. 8, especially with the Cavaliers supposedly having discussions with the Los Angeles Lakers (via ESPN‘s Brian Windhorst).
