After a season and a half of misery following LeBron James’s departure from Cleveland, it appears that the Cavaliers are considering dealing away the final key piece of James-era team.

Kevin Love, according to multiple records, could be on the move due to the Cavaliers’ newfound interest in trading him away from a beneficial package of young players and/or draft picks.

Love, who is 31-years-old, has been with Cleveland since the 2014-15 season after he was acquired in a three-team deal from the Minnesota Timberwolves.

He played a key role in the Cavaliers’ four consecutive trips to the NBA Finals and their 2016 championship during the golden mid-decade for the long-suffering franchise.

Despite James’ departure, he signed a four-year, $120 million extension with the Cavs prior to the 2018-19 season.

The UCLA alum is a five-time NBA All-Star who owns a career average of 18.3 points and 11.3 rebounds per game. He has missed large chunks of two of the past three seasons with injury problems, but has remained an effective player while healthy.

Love is averaging 16.1 points and 10.5 rebounds per game for the miserable Cavaliers this season, just slightly below his career averages.

Keep an eye on Love to see if a contender decides to swing a deal for him before next February’s trade deadline.

It’s safe to say that Cleveland Cavaliers will not be competitive anytime soon, given the fact that they are in complete rebuild mode. But it seems like this won’t get Cavs’ five-time All-Star Kevin Love to lose faith in his team and starts searching a way out.

Although Love has been a subject of numerous trade rumors in recent months, which link him with championship-contending teams, the 31-year-old isn’t keen on leaving Cleveland.

“I do want to be here. I always have,” – said Love in an exclusive interview with cleveland.com. “I say that knowing it’s the NBA and it’s a business. I think especially after seeing last year, the summer leading up to last year and this summer, the changeover is like unprecedented so you don’t know what is going to happen.”

Love is aware of the talk about his future, but doesn’t intend to let that affect his commitment to the Cavs or the way he approaches the upcoming season.

“I know things come up, you would see certain things or people would ask me and I would just be like, ‘I don’t know. I don’t have a call. Nobody has been having this conversation with me.’ Until that time comes just keep my head down and keep moving.” – he added.

After LeBron James’ departure, Cleveland Cavaliers decided to sign Kevin Love to a four-year, $120 million extension in order to remain competitive in the East. Love, however, managed to play only 22 games, in which he averaged 17.0 points and 10.9 rebounds, as he struggled with a foot injury. This led Cleveland to rethink their strategy and give the opportunity to younger players, which resulted in a third-worst record in the league last season.
