Kevin Love, Blake Griffin and Paul Millsap are regular players in the NBA trade rumors. All of them have been linked to numerous trade deals since the offseason began. But until now, none of those ever happened as the said players are still on their mother teams.
As the new NBA regular season is fast approaching, rumors are spreading that Love, Griffin, and Millsap will be dealt in a last minute trade. Reports are saying that said deal involves four teams and eight players that will happen anytime soon.
According to NBA Trade Rumors machine, the trade deals involves the Los Angeles Clippers, Boston Celtics, Atlanta Hawks and Cleveland Cavaliers. Trade scenario is suggesting as follows:
1. The Atlanta Hawks will acquire Clippers point guard Chris Paul.
2. The Boston Celtics will get Clippers power forward Blake Griffin together with ex-Celtics player Paul Pierce.
3. The Cleveland Cavaliers will welcome Hawks power forward Paul Millsap.
4. The Los Angeles Clippers will have Cavs power forward Kevin Love, Hawks point guard Dennis Schroder, Celtics small forward Jaylen Brown, and power forward Amir Johnson plus a two first-round draft picks.
The Inquisitr further break downs the ins and outs of this blockbuster NBa trade rumor deal in a separate report. According to the report, it will be a viable deal for all teams.
However, the Celtics must take the biggest adjustment to make this trade happen. The Celtics only have $7 million in cap space and taking in Griffin's $20.1 million and Pierce's $3.5 million contracts would make it more complicated to them.
From the looks of it, this trade rumors will not likely be going to happen - unless the Celtics will make a big cut on their salary cap - but some pieces of the trade is still a possibility, as per stated in the report. A direct swap between Kevin Love and Paul Millsap is a great consideration as both players have been linked to being traded by their teams.
Griffin is also likely going to leave the Clippers as some say he may opt out of his contract next summer and could be placed by the Clippers on the trading block to get an asset in return. Same goes to Chris Paul, although his contract will not expire next year but he has the player option to become a free agent and can opt out to the team.
Will the Hawks, Celtics, Cavs and Clippers will push through with this last minute deal indicated in this latest NBA trade rumors? Will Kevin Love, Blake Griffin, Chris Paul and Paul Millsap suit up for new teams?
