3 Cavaliers who definitely won’t be back in Cleveland next season

1. Kevin Love

Love has not been a fit for the Cavaliers’ rebuild, as an expensive veteran who has never shown leadership qualities and hasn’t always been healthy. Trade rumors constantly linger around him, and on the heels of an embarrassing incident late this season he openly professed his desire to play for another team.

Love has two years and around $60 million left on the extension he signed with the Cavaliers in 2018. So finding a team who can (or is willing to) match his salary in a trade won’t be easy. But it won’t be impossible, and maybe a third team would get involved to make a deal work.

Love clearly wants out, the Cavaliers don’t really want him anymore if they’re being honest. A parting of ways is inevitable this offseason, and both sides will be better for it.
