NBA Trade Rumors: Here Are The Details Of The 3-Team Trade That Sends Love To Cleveland

August 23 is just hours away, and one of the NBA trade rumors will certainly change the landscape of the NBA, particularly the Eastern Conference. 

According to ESPN's Marc Stein, the trade will include Cleveland, Minnesota and Philadelphia and seven players. In the trade, the Cavs will get Kevin Love, the Wolves get the past first overall draft picks in Anthony Bennett and Andrew Wiggins plus the Sixers' Thaddeus Young, while Philadelphia gets a handful of players from Minnesota. 

Those players will include Luc Mbah a Moute, Alexey Shved, and a future first round pick. 

Of the three teams involved in the trade, it looks like the Cavs are the clear winners after sending an untested rookie, a former first overall pick who performed poorly last season, and a 2015 protected first round draft pick to the Wolves. Minnesota on the other hand, gets a decent share with two young ballers in Wiggins and Bennett, as well as forward Young from Philly. 

The Sixers still got what they deserved for just one player, and that includes two young stars and a future first round draft pick. 

According to the report by Bleacher Report, the Phoenix Suns are making a last attempt to get Love in return for Eric Bledsoe who has been phenomenal the past season. Unfortunately for the Suns, the Wolves already get an emerging All-Star point guard in Ricky Rubio. 

Chicago on the other hand, also had its sights on the premier big man, but when they found out the Cavs include both Wiggins and Bennett into the deal, they backed off. 

Until the 23rd of August, which is only more than 5 hours away, the Cleveland Cavaliers will become a more powerful team than most of the teams in the Western Conference.
