The latest NBA (National Basketball Association) trade rumors suggest that the Cleveland Cavaliers will be removing Kevin Love from the lineup as a way to be a more coordinated as a team.

The power forward has definitely shown his inability to gel with the team. His inconsistency and lack of defense often lead the team astray, and eventually some losses.

And so for a much more in-sync Cavs next season, Cleveland is reportedly thinking of trading off Love for Nerlens Noel of Philadelphia 76ers.

However, the Cavs will need more than Love to get Noel and so Carl Landry and Iman Shumpert are expected to be on the trading block as well.

Noel will be a good fit in the Cavs lineup as the team will greatly benefit from his defensive skills and his excellent offensive play as well. Also as per The Inquisitr, Noel, like Love, is not compatible with the Sixers.

Noel's team has also reportedly made attempts in trading off the power forward, hinting that they are willing to strike a deal to another team who will give them the value and skills they need.

Also, it is said that the addition of team president Bryan Colangelo and the exit of general manager Sam Hinkie from Sixers reportedly meant that a trade involving Noel will come to fruition.

Love is expected to be a better fit with the Sixers much like Noel will be with the Cavaliers. With the former looking to rebuild and the latter going for a second championship, this trade makes a lot of sense.

However, there are also rumors that the Cavs will trade Love for DeMarcus Cousins of Sacramento Kings and not Noel. The 26-year-old has been linked with multiple NBA trade rumors as he will be a free agent come 2018.

The Kings are prepping up for his exit and Sportsrageous says the team's plan to rebuild will mean Cousins out of the game. However, neither of these trade rumors are yet to take place.
