Former Cavaliers Star Eyeing Potential Buyout, Trade

For Love, it seems like a buyout situation could be in play, or maybe even another trade from Utah if the right move comes to form. However, in terms of his fit with the Jazz, it seems like there's not a ton of future to be had there.

Love recently spent the past two and a half seasons stationed in Miami after being bought out by the Cavaliers in 2023, where he would ultimately play 99 career games with the Heat. During his most recent season, he appeared in 23 contests, starting in nine of them, logging 5.3 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 1.0 assists in just over 10 minutes a game.

Love was also an icon for the Cavaliers throughout his near decade-long tenure with the team from 2014 to 2023, where he played in 489 total games, earned two All-Star appearances, and was a key part of their 2016 NBA Finals run and victory.

It was previously reported that Love may prefer a "glamour market" for his next team, wherever that may be–– with fits like Los Angeles and New York being in play as a landing spot for next season, if he does end up being bought out or traded from the Jazz; effectively lining up a few interesting teams who could be in play as his next NBA home.

With that in mind, don't expect the Cavaliers to be a frontrunner in the race to land Love in a potential reunion, but he may very well be on the move in the weeks ahead of next season's tip-off.
