Cavs: 3 trades that could see Kevin Love or Collin Sexton going to the Heat

A new rumor has the Miami Heat interested in Collin Sexton and Kevin Love of the Cavs.

The Cavs may have finally found a team that wants to take on the contract of Kevin Love. The Miami Heat are a team that has a rumored interest in the Cavaliers’ big man, but that’s not all. Apparently, the rumor also suggests the Heat may want Collin Sexton as well.

Granted, there’s no clear sign if it’s an either-or situation, or if it’s a “both please” situation, but the rumors are starting to…Heat up…

Bad puns aside, let’s look at three potential trades that could get Love to South Beach and give us some summertime fun with new, young pieces.

Kevin Love dumped on the Heat

Now in every instance, the Cavs are going to have to do some work to make the move. Right now the best trade to get rid of Kevin Love’s contract involves basically nothing. The Cavs would ship Love and Damyean Dotson to Miami for Goran Dragic, Andre Iguodala, and a Heat 2022 second-round draft pick.

Now both Dragic and Iguodala have a team option for the 2021-2022 season. It’s unclear if the Cavs have to pick up the option before the trade, or if they can make the trade now, decline the option, and let them leave in free agency when it officially starts.

Regardless, both men have one year left on their current deals and it’s very likely that if the Cavs did have to pick up their options, that they would just buy them out anyway because their contracts (buy out or not) would come off their books following the 2021-2022 season.
