The Cavs might be able to get by with Love's poor rim protection if not for Kyrie's own issues on the defensive end. If they trade the farm for Love, they're stuck with a Big Three in which only one of the stars plays defense, and not much else. That's why I'm not crazy about this trade for Cleveland, and if I were a Cavs fan, I'd rather take my chances with Wiggins (who at least has shown the willingness to defend).
I'm not trying to totally shit on Love, and he is a good passer and scorer, but there are just other players at his position who can do that at a high level while still providing better rim protection.
