"CLEVELAND, Ohio – The three-team deal involving the Cavaliers acquiring Kevin Love is not over.

The basketball trade, made official Saturday, sends Love to Cleveland. The Cavaliers gave up Anthony Wiggins, this year's overall No. 1 pick, Anthony Bennett and a first-round pick in 2015. The deal, which also involved the Philadelphia 76ers, could not be finalized before Saturday.
