The Cleveland Cavaliers have staged a movement of some relevance by displacing Kevin Love from the rotation, who has not played a single minute in the last six games.
This absence has triggered the chances that the Ohio franchise closes a transfer for the power forward before the market closes. In fact, the media journalist Cleveland.comChris Fedor, points out that this decision responds to the desire to offer more minutes to Dean Wade, who extended his contract last September at a rate of three years and 18.5 million dollars.
Love is one of the few veterans that the Cavaliers have, but his production has dropped in 2023. Since January 1, he has averaged 5.9 points and 6.5 rebounds with a very poor 30.3 success rate. % in field goals and 22.9% in triples. It should be noted that the five-time All-Star is in the last year of his current contract, which will earn him $28.9 million.
Cleveland management’s desire to bolster the forward job with a more scoring profile has been shared. Thus, the name of Love would be added to that of Caris LeVert as potential players to be transferred before February 9.
