Last year, Frank Isola of the New York Daily News reported that the Cleveland Cavaliers, New York Knicks and Boston Celtics were discussing a three-team deal that would send Kevin Love to Boston, Carmelo Anthony to Cleveland and likely Jae Crowder and others to the New York Knicks.
Last year, those rumors were prompted by Love’s inability to find a role he felt comfortable in within the Cleveland Cavaliers offense, Anthony’s age and friendship to James and Boston’s intense search for a superstar big man.
This season, Love almost seems untouchable and Anthony is fine with being traded as long as it’s to the Cleveland Cavaliers or one of the two Los Angeles franchises.
