NBA TRADE RUMORS!

Cavaliers Reportedly Wanted to Trade Andrerson Varejao for Kevin Love

According to the Akron Beacon Journal, Cleveland Cavaliers general manager Chris Grant called the Minnesota Timberwolves once Kevin Love blasted the organization in the media to inquire about his availability. Minny wasn’t interested in a package that included Anderson Varejao for Love: “Grant has tried for years to trade for a star. Not surprisingly, none is available. He tried using the No. 4 pick a couple of years ago to land Al Horford, but the Atlanta Hawks said no, so the Cavs selected Thompson. Grant has checked on the availability of LaMarcus Aldridge and Marc Gasol. He has explored taking Pau Gasol off the Lakers’ hands. And after Kevin Love blasted the Minnesota Timberwolves organization in a recent Yahoo Sports story, Grant checked in to see if they had any interest in moving Love in a package built around Varejao. The answer was no. At the start of the season, I was convinced this was the year the Cavs would trade Varejao. It still might happen, but barring an unforeseen injury to a contender, it’s looking as if Varejao will end this season in Cleveland. There simply isn’t a deal out there right now that makes sense for both sides. The Cavs want a lot for Varejao and see no reason to drop the asking price.”
