According to the latest NBA trade rumors, the Cleveland Cavaliers power forward Kevin Love might be sent to the Oklahoma City Thunder in exchange for their point guard Victor Oladipo.

HNGN reported that the Cavaliers will benefit from the rumored deal with the Thunder. It is stated that adding Oladipo onto their roster will provide the Cavaliers with an edge over teams in the NBA league because of his excellent defensive skills.

Reports claimed that Oladipo might be teamed up with point guard Kyrie Irving in order to improve the Cavaliers backcourt. This union is also expected to help Irving focus more on his offensive game on the court. Besides, Oladipo is stated to have averaged 16.0 points with 4.8 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game last season, which is rumored to help the Cavaliers to put up high scores on the board in the new season.

Meanwhile, few reports stated that trading Love to the Thunder will help the Cavaliers to re-sign their veteran player J R Smith as the deal is expected to solve the team's salary cap issues. Morning News USA reported that if the Cavaliers are successful in bringing in Smith before the start of the new NBA season, then he will help the team to defend their title in the upcoming season.

On the other hand, the trade is also rumored to benefit the OKC Thunder team. Reports claimed that adding Love to their team will help the Cavaliers to improve their on-court offensive skills. It is also rumored that Love will be teamed up with small forward Kevin Durant, which is expected to help them to provide a tough competition to other teams in the NBA league.

However, none of the teams have officially made a statement on the possible trade scenario. So, these rumors should be taken with a grain of salt.

Stay tuned for NBA trade rumors and updates on the Cleveland Cavaliers, OKC Thunder, and star player Kevin Love.
