With the NBA training camps around the corner, the latest trade rumors hinted that Cleveland Cavaliers might ink their final deal with Chicago Bulls before the start of the next season. Reports claimed that the Cavaliers will trade their power forward Kevin Love in exchange for Bulls' Taj Gibson because of the former's poor performance in the last season.

Chat Sports Net reported that the Cavaliers are planning to develop their roster and bringing in Gibson is expected to maintain their titleholder status. It is stated that the 31-year-old player is expected to be teamed up with small forward LeBron James and point guard Kyrie Irving in order to improve their overall gameplay, which will thus provide a tough competition to other teams in the NBA league.

Reports claimed that Gibson will provide the Cavaliers with his excellent frontcourt defensive skills and help the team to win a number of games. He is reported to have an average of 8.6 points and 6.9 rebounds per game in the last season, which will further help the Cavaliers to put up high scores.

On the other hand, other trade rumors suggested that the Chicago Bulls are also looking forward to bring in Love as the trade is expected to help them to further improve their roster. It is stated that the Bulls' strong team of talented players like Dwayne Wade, Jimmy Butler, and Rajan Rondo along with Kevin Love is rumored to make them one of the top contenders for this year's NBA title.

Also, reports claimed that the Bulls might also trade their power forward Nikola Mirotic along with Gibson in order to bring in Love from the Cavaliers.

 Meanwhile, apart from Chicago Bulls as Love's possible destination, trade rumors hinted that the Cavaliers might also send him to the Boston Celtics in a three-way deal between Boston, Cleveland, and Philadelphia. It is rumored that Love will be sent to the Celtics; Jaylen Brown will then be traded to the 76ers who in turn will trade their center Nerlens Noel to the Cavaliers.

However, there is no official confirmation on the possible trade scenarios from the team's management. Stay tuned in here for updates and NBA trade rumors.
