The Cleveland Cavaliers aren't just hoping that LeBron James returns to the place where is NBA career began. They're doing everything in their power to ensure that Cleveland emerges as the best possible option for the four-time NBA MVP when it comes to his impending free-agent decision.
According to Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports, Cavs management are pursuing a trade for Minnesota Timberwolves superstar Kevin Love - a deal they will attempt to swing into action if they can convince LeBron to return to Ohio:

The Cavaliers have a ton of young assets to offer in such a deal, but it is unclear of exactly what Cleveland will offer to the Wolves if things begin to fall into place.
However, per Sam Amico and Zac Jackson of FOX Sports Ohio, the Cavs have already touched base with LeBron's agent, Rich Paul, about the team's willingness to make such a trade.
All in all, these are very interesting times in Cleveland...and all around the NBA, for that matter.
