Cleveland Cavaliers Receive: G/F Dillon Brooks, G/F Danny Green, C Killian Tille 

Memphis Grizzlies Receive: F/C Kevin Love 

With that said, injuries aren’t the only reason teams lose players. Sometimes, they price themselves out of town. 

After all, every team is subject to the league’s salary cap. With that in mind, they can only afford to roster so many quality players. Sometimes, they’ve got to let someone go they’d surely have preferred to keep. 

With that in mind, the Memphis Grizzlies are about to run up an expensive tab. In some ways, they’ve done too good of a job building this team. Realistically, they won’t be able to keep all the quality players on this roster. 

This deal is partially accounting for those circumstances. Both Brooks and Love will be due for new contracts next summer.

Is Love a worthy addition for them otherwise?
