There have been two players in NBA history who have made five All-NBA 1st Teams and played for six NBA franchises: Shaquille O’Neal and Dwight Howard. Howard was traded to the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday in a deal that sent back Timofey Mozgov and two second round picks for the Charlotte Hornets. So why would [...]

Not so fast, Kevin Love trade enthusiasts. Most expect the Cleveland Cavaliers to heavily shop Love this summer, regardless of what LeBron James does in free agency.
