The fallout from LeBron James’ decision to move from Cleveland to Los Angeles will likely result in Kevin Love being traded by the Cavaliers.
According to ESPN’s Dave McMenamin, who made an appearance on 92.3 The Fan Thursday, Love expects to be traded by the Cavaliers, who are clearly in rebuild mode now.
Previously, Jason Lloyd of The Athletic, who was also a guest on the Bull & Fox Cavs Roundtable Thursday, reported that Cleveland is now “open†to trading Love now that James is in Los Angeles.
It’s a move that clearly signals the team is ready to blow up the remains of a team that has reached the NBA Finals the last three years.
The Cavs are reportedly also looking to move veterans George Hill and Kyle Korver.
Last season Love averaged 17.6 points and 9.3 rebounds during the regular season, shooting 45.8 percent from the field and 41.5 percent from three.
The veteran forward still has two years left on the five-year, $113.2 million extension he signed with the Cavs in 2015. He is set to earn $24.1 million during the 2018-19 season and $25.5 million during the 2019-20 campaign.
