\n\tCleveland Cavs deny trash report that team is shopping Kevin Love<\/span><\/strong><\/span>

\n\tCleveland Cavs deny trash report that team is shopping Kevin Love:- Cleveland Cavaliers coach Ty Lue said Kevin Love won’t be traded. LeBron James called a New York Daily News report "trash" that said he’s pushing management to trade for Carmelo Anthony. Kevin Love called the report a lie.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t“What do they say, a lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to put his pants on,” Love said.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Daily News report published Monday said James wants Anthony even if it means trading Love. James denied that after the Cavaliers defeated the Washington Wizards 140-135 in overtime on Monday.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t“It’s trash,” James said. “And the guy who wrote it is trash, too, for writing that. … It’s always about outside noise, and that’s just outside noise for us. We’ve got to focus on what needs to be done in order for us to continue to compete for a championship. We’ve got who we got. Our GM (David Griffin) will do a great job of figuring out if we need something else. But right now, we’re in a good place.”<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAsked about the story and the idea of trading Love, Lue gave a facetious answer. “We’re going to trade him tonight — 39 (points) and 12 (rebounds), yeah, we’re going to trade him.”<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tLove made 11-for-17 from the field, including 6-for-10 on three-pointers. After missing two-plus games with back spasms, Love returned Saturday against the New York Knicks and had 23 points and 16 rebounds.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t“Just because a team wants you and they ask about you they want you on their team,” Lue said. “That doesn’t mean we want to trade you. That just means people like you.”<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Cavs like Kevin Love, too, and they don’t want to trade him.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
