7 Players the Cavs Could Trade Kevin Love for by the Trade Deadline

6. Markieff Morris and Tyson Chandler

Markieff Morris has been trying to get traded for months from the Phoenix Suns, but a plausible trade has yet to spring up.

Morris has been disgruntled all season long and his play has reflected that. He has averaged just 10.2 points on 38.4 percent from the field, which is a horrible shooting percentage for a 6’10” power forward.

The 26-year-old power forward possesses the ability to score, having averaged 15.3 points while playing all 82 games in the 2014-15 season.

In order to make this trade work, the Suns would probably package Tyson Chandler.

While Morris is a nice talent, he has only had two good seasons in the NBA. Having said that, he isn’t likely to be the piece that puts the Cavaliers over the hump.

Next: Paul Millsap
