This is a popular rumored trade around the league. This trade only makes sense if LeBron plans to stay in Cleveland. The backcourt in Portland has always been fun to watch and has been very successful in the regular season, however, the playoffs have been a different story.

You must give CJ credit for the way he has improved his game every season and his All-Star level of play, if he were in the Eastern Conference he would no doubt be an All-Star. However, the backcourt in Portland is not going to work, and they need a change. By adding Kevin Love and a top 10 pick the Trailblazers will get a fresh start to add to Damian Lillard. For the Cavs, Kevin Love has dealt with a lot of blame this season and he is not the player the Cavs need to make a run at a championship. CJ will provide scoring similar to Kyrie and this will entice LeBron to stick around.
