Cavs are taking on way to much salary.

@rkenne salaries work out per trade machine.

I really like Portland bringing in Kevin Love. That starting lineup is great (so long as Nurkic is who Portland thinks he is) .

Personally not a fan of Portland getting Love. That starting lineup is great on the offensive end but have three bad defenders in Lillard, McCollum and Love. Love would likely be in the same awkward role he is in Cleveland as a 3rd offensive option and with Nurkic in the middle will still be relegated to behind the 3pt line which isn't the best use of his skills.

That being said in this trade Portland isn't giving up much of anything (some bad contracts, Vonleh and a future 1st) for Love so don't think you could pass up that value. I think Love is from Oregon originally so it would also make a good story of him coming home. Adding Love would improve Portland's chances of making the playoffs but I still don't think it makes them a favorite to win their first series.

I think Bucks say no. They would rather go for Love himself.

Portland has no interest in Kevin Love.
