According to Yahoo Sports, the Cavaliers have a deal in place with the Timberwolves for Kevin Love.
The Cavaliers have even received a commitment from Love that he will be signing with the team long-term with a five-year, $120 million-plus contract extension.
In exchange for Love, the Cavaliers will be sending two former No. 1 picks to Minnesota — Anthony Bennett and Andrew Wiggins.
Since Wiggins has already signed his rookie contract, he cannot be traded until one month after the date that he put ink to paper. That means that Wiggins will be eligible for a trade on August 23, so we could see an official deal take place at that time.
