kevin love told the cavs TODAY that he will not use his player option for next season

[kennethgriffin]

.. and that he will become a free agent

another reminder that he is in no way commiting long term to cleveland


i dunno guys. if they dont come close to winning a title this year. what could possibly keep love in cleveland? because lebrons such a nice guy?

its a shit city

its cold

its a bad market

hes a 3rd option

and he'l be asked to take a pay cut


i'm pretty sure love wants to be the #1 guy on a championship team. not some chris bosh 17ppg 3rd option



lebron and kyrie will suffocate loves stats. which is what he LOVES the most. wont end well IMO


cleveland just gave away their future for a 1 year rental

:facepalm

[stalkerforlife]

I think it'd be GREAT if Love left after one year, but I don't think he has the balls.

He will do whatever daddy Lebron tells him to do.

[kennethgriffin]

i mean common people. ask yourselves this question

if you're kevin love. what would you do? and just assume for one moment that youre not in love with lebron... but infact inlove with yourself the way you are with lebron

:lol

[Hey Yo]

hes a 3rd option

Wow, you really are that dumb.

[MastaKilla]

Wow, you really are that dumb.

Don't be mad at the OP the Cavs are so stacked that determining who will be what option is very difficult..

[BigTicket]

This is a good thing for the Cavs, you're just too dumb to see it.

The salary cap is going to go up in 2016, so any player you can sign in 2015 is going to be much cheaper than one you sign in 2016.

If the Cavs can sign Love to a maximum deal in 2015, that will help them keep together the trio of Irving/Love/Lebron until the end of Lebron's career.

[Hey Yo]

Don't be mad at the OP the Cavs are so stacked that determining who will be what option is very difficult..
Not mad at all. I guess you could say some games ____ was second option and ____ was 3rd.

Either way OP is very jealous that "Love is a lock to come to LA" isn't happening.

bringing hope to people that haven't experience a championship in 50 years gotta be a good feeling :confusedshrug:

[Twiens]

Cavs 2016 big 3:

Tristan Thompson
Andy V
Dion Waiters (If Lebron doesn't get him traded for vets)

Wheres your sauce?

I call BS

[MP.Trey]

Good link. Great article.

[DukeDelonte13]

I'm not concerned in the least bit Lebron or Love is leaving any time soon.

[Meticode]

This was expected. Gilbert has already met with Love in July to talk about the future of the franchise. LeBron and Love want to play together long-term. The only way he doesn't resign for max or near max money with Cleveland is if the season is a total catastrophe.

Windhorst reported as well. Love still plans to opt out after this season, but they feel it's only to resign long-term with Cleveland for the most money he can get. Gilbert has already met with Love and Love and LeBron want to play together long-term.

[dubeta]

OP is melting down so bad

Doing everything to try and convince himself that LeBron wont win anymore rings :oldlol:

Even if LeBron doesnt win anymore the majority of fans still have him >> Kobe so why worry about it?

[Shade8780]

Multiple sauces?

[DJ Leon Smith]

The only way he doesn't resign for max or near max money with Cleveland is if the season is a total catastrophe.

To be fair to OP, he's still scarred by this.

There was a flaw in that before he ever went to the Lakers.

Howard never wanted to go there originally in the first place. He wanted Brooklyn all along, but it couldn't happen. And when the catastrophe in L.A. happened and Nash was injured all the time he took the next best thing he could get to shy away from the expectations playing for that franchise does. Houston.

That's the main difference between Love coming to Cleveland and Howard going to L.A. Howard never really wanted to be there. Love has already met with the Cavs owner, talked and obviously wants to be here.

he's not going anywhere, he just wants to get a better contract

ZERO love for Cleveland

[Pacquiao]

Kevin Love is a failure stat padder and he acts like he had won something.

[ScarSymmetry]

Once he sees first hand how easy it is to make the playoffs in the east, he won't be going anywhere.

cleveland cant afford to give him a better contract

thats why its 100% that hes leaving


next year both kyrie and love will be seaking a max 20 mill contract to go with lebrons max 20 mill contract

so 3 guys will take up their entire cap

are you expecting love to say "na dont pay me 17 mill next season. i'd rather take 10?

:biggums:

love is..........................GONE

Love and Lebron will both stay next season and their current roster will stay intact for one more year, after that, who knows.
