We understand that the current champ, Cleveland Cavaliers is pressured in forming their roster. Many are expecting that the NBA final will be another battle between Cavs and the super team Golden State Warriors. However, this time, it would be tougher for Cavs.
In the last NBA season, Cleveland Cavaliers struggled to win its first NBA title against the Warriors. This time, NBA enthusiasts believe that with the addition of Kevin Durant, it would be much harder for Cavs to win a back to back championship against the Golden State Warriors.
Reports have it that to make things a little bit easier, LeBron James needs real big men as running mates. Philadelphia 76ers has a surplus of big men and Jahlil Okafor and Nerlens Noel could be a potential trade.
Despite the reports circulating that Cavs is not trading Kevin Love, the Cavs' power forward and center remains in the NBA trade rumor mills. Per Sports Rageous, Cleveland Cavaliers and Philadelphia 76ers are in trade talks involving Kevin Love and Nerlens Noel. Kevin Durant's decision to join Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green in GSW puts too much pressure on Cavs.
NBA enthusiasts are waiting for Cavs' response and reports have it that the current champ's response is to trade Kevin Love for Nerlens Noel. Love's poor performance last season was very noticeable.
In fact, some reports suggest that Kevin Love is the odd player in Cleveland Cavaliers. LeBron James allegedly called Cavs to trade Love for Nerlens Noel.
If Golden State Warriors push with their Curry-Thompson-Durant-Iguodala-Green lineup, Cavs will surely struggle for their defense. Thus, NBA enthusiasts suggest that they get a skilled rim protector.
Per the report, Nerlens Noel is one of the available centers on the market and among the best. Reports have it that Philadelphia 76ers is more inclined to trading Noel than Jahlil Okafor. So, we are more likely to see Noel with Cavs than Okafor.
