CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Back in 2014 the Cleveland Cavaliers made a blockbuster trade with the Minnesota Timberwolves for a disgruntled All-Star and soon-to-be free agent.
Could history be repeated?
According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, the Cavaliers are one of many teams pursuing a trade for Jimmy Butler.
Just like 2014 with Love, this type of move would be an enormous risk. Back in 2014, the danger was minimized by LeBron James' presence. With the Cavaliers in championship mode, the Love addition was going to make them one of the favorites. Plus, the chances of Love leaving the best East team in free agency was unlikely.
