Cavs Have No Choice but to Trade Kevin Love After Recent Drama

Kevin Love has been visibly frustrated with the Cleveland Cavaliers this season.

He has frequently thrown up his arms in exasperation and been visibly annoyed on the court. One player in particular he seems to have a problem with is Collin Sexton. It's become quite clear he's no longer happy in town.

The above clip went viral, as Love was clearly angry with the way Sexton decided to end the half. But, when digging deeper, it appears he is angry with the play call given by John Beilein. The coach ignored the fact Love had a mismatch on Chris Paul and that was enough for Love to fire a pass at Cedi Osman once he finally got the ball.

He may be saving face, or he may be trying to get in a subtle dig at his coaches and the front office. Regardless, the Cavs need to trade him as soon as possible.

Love reportedly got into an altercation with GM Koby Altman about a ridiculous $1,000 fine. This happened in front of the team and is not what a young, rebuilding team needs from a veteran leader. He clearly wants out and the Cavs cannot have this negative energy around the team.

The young Cavs have to buy in to Beilein's message and that won't happen if Love goes against it on a consistent basis. He could leave a lasting impression on the young guys, derailing this Cavs organization even further.

Love was a key asset on the 2016 championship team. He signed an extension with the expectation the Cavs would try to compete and instead a full rebuild has taken place. He needs to be traded to benefit both sides before things get too ugly.
