According to Steve Kyler of Basketball Insiders, Cleveland Cavaliers big man Kevin Love won’t be the centerpiece of any blockbuster trade that upgrades the team’s roster. This isn’t because the Cavaliers feel like Love is an untouchable player on their roster, it’s because Love’s trade value is too low.
I can only tell you what I am told by teams when I mention him. The Cavs won't get value for Kevin Love. They could get different, but to think of Love as the centerpiece of an upgrade trade would be mistaken. https://t.co/W7GgliC95Q
