No way they let him leave or trade him unless he asks.I think he comes back next year, obviously at a lower salary.

Just can’t trading him now after last year and the start of this yearYeah, to start the year I was looking at Loves salary to fill out the trade for an upgrade at SF.. but I am thinking his impact on the team attitude might be too important for that. Net net we lose value if we re-up him on a cheaper contract, but I wouldn't mind retiring him to the rafters, especially if we win another chip..
Wade can and should play at the 3.I don't know - both Mobley and Wade are still on the upward slope of their careers. But the fact that Mobley can also play center helps - they can have Allen, Mobley, Love, and Wade split the 96 minutes at the 4-5 positions. That would come out to about 18 minutes each for Love and Wade and 30 each for Mobley and Allen.
I don’t think he does come back at a lower salary. With the way the cap keeps rising 30M isn’t that bad for him. I can see him getting 90M over 3 years.I think he comes back next year, obviously at a lower salary.

This matches what we see on the court and box score. He puts on a masterclass in positioning and using his body to grab a board in the way the other guys on the team haven't figured out. It's an insane margin, but I feel good about him continuing to overproduce in that area relative to his minutes.Small sample size though it may be, Kevin Love is leading the NBA in defensive rebounding percentage (43.0) and total rebounding percentage (23.1). Precious is second in DRB% at 34.53.
The DRB% mark would be a career high. It would also be the highest mark in NBA history.
No way that holds... Right? (He actually had a similar number in 2018-2019, but played in just 22 games)
This has been a damn good start to the year by K-Love.
I would love for this to happen.The touch on his three-point shot is beautiful to watch. He shoots a soft shot and he's fucking sniping. My prediction: Kevin Love will eclipse LeBron as the only Cavalier ever with 2 rings and goes down as a top 5 Cavalier of all time.
Absolutely astute! I agree.This matches what we see on the court and box score.

Never say never ;oOne thing I'm not so sure will hold up is Kev's 103.8 def rtg - good for 7th in the league right now
He won't get close to even half that.I don’t think he does come back at a lower salary. With the way the cap keeps rising 30M isn’t that bad for him. I can see him getting 90M over 3 years.
it will be interesting to see which way Love wants to go. The team won't want to sink that much money into year 3- which would have him making 30 mil when he's an almost certainly depleted 37. But they might do a shorter term deal for a higher number or 3 years for less per. We are also have to have an eye for keeping enough room for locking up the young core. I think Kev will take a little less to stay in a situation that fits him, and no place can accentuate what he still does great while covering his weaknesses better than Cleveland.I don’t think he does come back at a lower salary.

I edited, no harm meant. But really, Grammer check is awesome.
