The latest NBA trade rumors hinted that Miami Heat is rumored to be targeting Cleveland Cavaliers' Kevin Love and even willing to trade starters Goran Dragic and Justise Winslow to acquire the All-Star power forward.

Love, who turned 28 last month, has continued to be the subject of trade rumors since last summer because of his perceived ill-fit with LeBron James, Kyrie Irving and the rest of the Cavaliers.

These trade rumors gained ground during last June's NBA Finals against the Golden State Warriors when head coach Tyronn Lue opted to start veteran forward Richard Jefferson after Love was sidelined in Game 3 because of a concussion.

The result was remarkable for the Cavs as they went on to win Cleveland's first-ever NBA championship and broke the city's losing streak of winning a major sports title in half a decade.

Despite the evident improvement of play with Love on the bench, the Cavs is still adamant that the three-time NBA All-Star remains to be the third spoke in their Big Three with James and Irving and that he is not available for a trade.

Love also had his insights with regards to the trade rumors and ESPN reported that "he just has learned to block it out".

"They'll never be gone," said Love. "That's just something that you live with. We have so much hype and media and the good and the bad surrounding this team and it just comes with the territory."

"So, I love this team, love the coaching staff, my teammates, the organization," he added. "I mean, I don't think it will ever leave but frankly, I don't really give a s---." 

Just recently, rumors went out that the Heat is planning to offer point guard Goran Dragic and small forward Justise Winslow, both starters, to the Cavs in exchange for the former UCLA standout.

Chat Sports Net indicated that the attempt is perhaps "a desperation move" for Miami after the team had lost Dwyane Wade in free-agency and also let go of Chris Bosh because of his medical condition.

With the Heat's former Big Three of James, Wade and Bosh now all gone, Hassan Whiteside has suddenly become Miami's number one player.

However, Whiteside is quite limited offensively, while arguably, the team's current best scorer, Dragic, is also not a pure offensive player. Thus, having Love around would make the team an Eastern Conference contender once again.
