The Cleveland Cavaliers have been pulling out all of the stops to secure a reunion with LeBron James and reports indicate that the team could be willing to part ways with Andrew Wiggins in a deal with the Minnesota Timberwolves that would bring Kevin Love into the fold.
Celtics Working On Deal For Kevin Love
According to Cleveland sports anchor and radio host Tony Rizzo, the Cavaliers are currently working on a deal to land Love from Minnesota and are willing to deal Wiggins, the 2014 NBA Draft No. 1 overall pick to land the three-time NBA All-Star.
"@TheRealTRizzo with a huge rumor: #Cavs have made an offer to the Timberwolves for Kevin Love. Deal includes Andrew Wiggins," ESPN Cleveland wrote on Twitter.
Carmelo Anthony Not Ruling Out Any Offers
A little more than four years ago, James made his infamous "decision" to leave Cleveland and take his talents to South Beach with the Miami Heat. Two rings and four NBA Finals appearances later, the very franchise he spurned in 2010 is hoping to complete a homecoming for the ages for the four-time MVP.
#Cavs reportedly have a deal in place for Kevin Love. Stay tuned for details.

For the Cavaliers to pull off such an astonishing move they'll have to dump some salary and they've already begun the process by trading Jarrett Jack (three-years, $18.9) to the Brooklyn Nets.
Love has been vocally unwilling to sign an extension to stay in Minnesota after his contract expires at the end of next season, and there have been reports that the Timberwolves have changed their stance and are looking to deal him rather than risk losing him for nothing next summer.
James' free agency, along with Carmelo Anthony's, has been the highlight of the last nine days as many teams have expressed interest and are looking to make moves to supply cap room in order to sway the superstar onto their team.
It remains to be seen if a deal for Love will happen or if the pact would be enough to sway LeBron to return to Cleveland, but until 'King James' officially signs somewhere, anything remains possible.
