There are rumors that the Cleveland Cavaliers could send Kevin Love to the Los Angeles Lakers for a trade package that includes Julius Randle, Jose Calderon, and Lou Williams.
Love had been the subject of several trade rumors since last summer. Love's inability to fit with LeBron James and Kyrie Irving has been highlighted in reports suggesting that he should be dealt by the Cavs for someone who can better complement the other two superstars.

The suggestions were proven true when in the recent NBA Finals, head coach Tyronn Lue opted to utilize veteran small forward Richard Jefferson in the starting lineup and during crunch time over Love.
To make matters worse for Love, the Cavs were more efficient when he was on the bench as the team came back from a 1-3 deficit to win the NBA title in seven games against the highly-favored Golden State Warriors with Jefferson as the starter.
With that, many have said that Cleveland may be better off without Love.
Love is said to be irritated by the trade rumors linking him to other teams. He revealed that he simply "blocks out all that noise," according to CBS Sports.
"They'll never be gone," said Love when asked about the rumors that he could be traded. "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. I mean, I don't think it will ever leave but frankly, I don't really give a s---," he added.
HNGN indicated that a move to the Los Angeles Lakers might happen as the Cavs could be interested in getting Randle, Calderon, and Williams from the Hollywood squad in exchange for Love.
Cleveland is reportedly looking to add depth to their bench and getting the aforementioned three players would boost the defending champions' second unit.
