Everyone assumes after Love's contract is up he will sign on elsewhere at the vet min or other lesser amount with a contender, but he seems comfortable in Cleveland, and that contender could be the Cavs.
I'd be surprised if Love didn't stick with the franchise in some capacity after his contract is over. Whether it be extending his contract (at around 10% of his current salary), staying on with the coaching staff (player development? Assistant coach?), or front office (mental health advocate?).
Until the recent turn of events in Portland I really thought he would go home but by the time his contract is up here the Blazers will be in full blown rebuild mode!Actually his gf lives in NYC and Love has a house in Tribeca. I am not saying this means he is a Net or a Knick in the future, but from what i can tell he has 2 homes, one in NYC and one in Breatenahl.
Yes Love is from out West and went to college in LA and can often be found there in the offseason, but i cant find a home he owns out there.
Who knows what Love does in 1.5 years. Retire, sign on for another year in Cleveland, move east, move west. Who knows. I am just glad he is contributing and playing hard.

It was just a season or so ago that Channing Frye was pushing the Kevin Love to Portland narrative.I dont see any motivation for him to go home even if Portland was good. he hasnt lived there since childhood. College in LA, Minny and Cleveland for play. Has a house In Cleveland, Fiancee in NYV along with a house there, and he is seen sometimes in LA.
I just dont see any Portland connection anymore. But who knows, i sure dont, only Kevin and maybe some people close to him like finacee really know his intentions.
