The news out of ESPN Cleveland is that the Cavaliers have a deal on the table that would send the No. 1 pick in the draft Andrew Wiggins to the Wolves for Love, as reported by LegionReport.com.
Rizzo said on ESPN 850 that he “has heard this deal has been in the works for about a month.”
To clarify: #Cavs have an offer on the table to Minnesota for Kevin Love. The ball is in Minnesota's court. #CavsGoodKarma

According to CBS Sports, the Cavaliers want to compete next year, and their No. 1 pick – now Wiggins – is attractive to the Wolves.
The question has always been would Love re-sign in Cleveland? If James was headed to Cleveland, too, then Love presumably would.
FOX Sports Ohio NBA columnist Sam Amico is hearing that Cleveland is after Love, too.
Source says Cavs also "pursuing a big." Won't give names, but hearing from other sources outside organization that "big" is Kevin Love.

Windhorst: The #Cavs can still make a play for Kevin Love. They haven't talked to the Wolves since the draft. It would be for Andrew Wiggins

Jon Krawczynski of the Associated Press reports that a trade agreement is not in place, but things could change if LeBron signs with Cleveland. That’s a huge mystery at this point.
However, Wojnarowski tweeted an interesting nugget about LeBron.
LeBron James reached out to two vet free agents last week about joining him, IF he left Miami, sources tell Yahoo. Mike Miller was one.

Mike Miller and Ray Allen are now being targeted by the Cavs, according to ESPN’s Chris Broussard. In addition to that, the Cavs pulled off a massive three-team trade today – a move that cleared enough cap space to offer LeBron a max contract, per Yahoo Sports.
According to Pro Basketball Talk, LeBron left his meeting with Pat Riley today with committing to a deal with the Heat.
Are these signs that LeBron is quite possibly headed back to Cleveland? Who knows, but this developing story is worth following.
Stay tuned.
