#2 Kevin Love to the Portland Trail Blazers
Kevin Love has started the season in excellent form following his injury-hit 2018-19 campaign. And despite recently voicing his commitment to the Cleveland Cavaliers, a trade remains possible ahead of the February deadline.

The former All-Star turned 31 in September, and his continued presence on a poor Cavs team that has started the season with a 4-7 record makes little sense.

The Trail Blazers are among the teams that have been linked with Love, and Portland's recent acquisition of Carmelo Anthony illustrated their desire to add more talent alongside Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum.
The addition of a third star would transform last year's Western Conference Finalists into a real force. The Blazers could send Hassan Whiteside and a number of picks to Cleveland to complete a trade.
#1 Chris Paul to the Miami Heat
Fueled by the young core of Tyler Herro, Bam Adebayo, Justise Winslow and Kendrick Nunn, the Miami Heat have made a much better start to the season than expected. Despite a difficult schedule, they have started with an impressive 8-3 record.
However, the roster still looks short on quality when compared to the best teams in the East such as the Milwaukee Bucks and the Philadelphia 76ers.
It is no secret that Pat Riley is actively searching for a second star to pair with Jimmy Butler, and Chris Paul remains the biggest name available to the Heat. Yes, CP3 is 34 and is also signed to one of the worst deals in the NBA, but the veteran is still one of the best guards in the league.
Moreover, the guard has performed well in Oklahoma City despite averaging a career-low in minutes.
With the Thunder believed to be keen to offload Paul, a deal shouldn't be too complicated, the Heat could send two young players alongside Goran Dragic's expiring deal.
