OUT – Kevin Love and Cleveland’s 2018 1st round pick
IN – Jared Dudley, Marquese Chriss and Tyson Chandler

Why would Cleveland do this?

With the Cavs’ recent slide, it has leaked that there has been a rift between Kevin Love and his current teammates. This is including – but not limited to – his exit due to being injured/sick questioned and him throwing a towel into Jeff Green’s face on the sidelines.

One thing Phoenix could drastically help Cleveland with is a mature veteran presence and improved locker room leadership. In addition, Dudley provides deadly 3-point accuracy and Chandler is still one of the top rebounders and most efficient finishers in this league. The Cavs throw in their own 1st round pick as the Suns throw in a 20-year-old PF with legit athleticism and a ton of potential in Chriss.
