With a few days left for the start of the training camps, the latest NBA rumors hinted that the Cleveland Cavaliers will soon make their final trade move. Reports claimed that the Cavaliers are expected to give away their power forward Kevin Love in exchange for another star as he is considered to be a misfit for the team.

Chat Sports reported that the Cavaliers are eyeing 76ers power forward Nerlens Noel to improve their roster, which will help them face the tough competition in the NBA league like the Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Lakers, Oklahoma City Thunder, and the Minnesota Timberwolves.  

Furthermore, it is stated that the Cleveland Cavaliers are interested in Noel as the 22-year-old player will provide great defensive skills on-court with a huge boost to the young talented players on the team's roster. Noel has an average of 11.1 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks per game last season.

The Cavaliers are also expected to send power forward Carl Landry and shooting guard Iman Shumpert along with Kevin Love to the Philadelphia 76ers in the highly anticipated deal.

Meanwhile, according to certain trade rumors, the 76ers president Bryan Colangelo had earlier commented that they are looking forward to trading few of their center players in order to improve their roster before the start of the upcoming NBA season.

Reports claimed that the deal with the Cavaliers including Love, Landry, and Shumpert will also provide the 76ers team with the on-court defensive skills.

Apart from all the above-mentioned trade rumors, the Cavaliers might also opt for the Sacramento Kings' DeMarcus Cousins to upgrade their roster this season. However, no official confirmation has been provided from either of the teams.

In addition, another team that is eyeing Love apart from the 76ers is the Portland Trail Blazers. Reports claimed that the Blazers will utilize Love's on-court skills to increase their scores.
