Kevin Love is finally leaving Cleveland.

Kevin Love has had his fair share of issues with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Overall, Love was brought in thanks to LeBron James. When James returned to the Cavs in 2014, he wanted a roster that could compete with the best of them. Subsequently, this led to a trade that brought K-Love. In those early years, Love played very well with the team. However, once LeBron left in 2018, it became clear that he didn't want to be there anymore. Unfortunately, Love never actually got traded or let go. It is 2023, and he is still technically under contract with the franchise.

For years, there have been talks about buying out Love's deal. Well, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic, the buyout has finally occurred. The Cavaliers are looking to finalize the deal which would allow Love to become a free agent. Although he spent nine years with the franchise, Love will be very eager to simply move on and go somewhere else.

Love is someone who has only played for two franchises. These teams include the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Cavaliers. Needless to say, he has not played for the most attractive markets. However, it seems like his fortunes could be on the verge of changing. It is now being revealed that Love is looking to sign with the Miami Heat. They are a team looking for some depth ahead of the playoffs, and Love has proven to be a decent option. Only time will tell whether or not other teams decide to join the fun.

For Cavs fans, this is the end of an era. He was the last remaining player from that 2016 championship team. Overall, he might not have had a great end to his career in Cleveland. However, he was part of a legendary team that will always be celebrated. Let us know where you think Love should play, in the comments below.
