Kevin Love

Kevin Love is on his way out of the Cleveland Cavaliers organization, but the Warriors aren't rumored to be in the mix for the big man.

Any buyout conversation has to be done in collaboration with the coaching staff, because why bring a player in if they're not going to use him? He added that between JaMychal Green, Draymond Green and Kevon Looney, the Warriors hope they have enough size after trading away James Wiseman, but that they would take a look at buyout candidates. Love hasn't been linked to Golden State specifically, but NBC Sports Bay Area's Monte Poole did list the five-time NBA All-Star as someone who would fit the team's needs.

HoopsHype ranks the Top 15 players who were mentioned in trade rumors this season but were not traded, making them survivors of the scuttle.

1 pick could be on the trade market. What prevented them from landing the former Indiana standout was Toronto’s asking price, which was a lot of draft capital and a good young piece. The Los Angeles Lakers reportedly may have their eye on Chicago Bulls star Zach LaVine as a potential trade candidate this season. Now, this came before his Defensive Player of the Year award and prior to the Celtics coming within two games of a championship just last season, but it did happen. From what we can gather, the Celts are indeed discomforted by the uncertainty with signing Smart beyond this year, but they see him as a key piece to this season’s playoff run. The trade would involve sending former All-Star forward David Lee, Klay Thompson and a first-round pick (or Harrison Barnes) for Love and Kevin Martin, but the Warriors internally weighed if that was indeed too steep a price to pay for the double-double machine, according to Marc Stein, who was then with ESPN. “I think personally when you look at this business of the league and look at the landscape of the league, you have to go off your future – we all know picks are so valuable in this league – and someone like myself, I’m going into the last year of my deal and you want to make sure you’re getting a return for your assets. That Love survived that contract without getting traded is downright shocking in hindsight, considering the Cavaliers quickly learned they wouldn’t be able to stay competitive post-James, even with Love around. On Friday, Cavs general manager Koby Altman reaffirmed what team sources had said for weeks – that the team does not intend to trade Kevin Love and try to lose this season as part of a hard rebuild without James. The height of that, obviously, came when LeBron James departed from Cleveland for a second time in the 2018 offseason. In the event Beal does not become available, the Sixers have yet to make serious traction on any other Simmons deal, sources said. For this exercise, we looked up the number of mentions in our

Kevin Love requested a buyout from the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday and now plans to sign with the Miami Heat once he clears waivers.

The five-time All-Star completed a contract buyout with Cleveland on Thursday after 8 1/2 seasons with the team.

After clearing waivers, Kevin Love plans to sign with the Miami Heat, his agent Jeff Schwartz of @Excelbasketball tells ESPN.

Love has had a relatively down season on a Cavs team that needs him for his veteran leadership and ties with the franchise than his on-court play. That’s a career-worst mark for him mainly due to the career-low in minutes as well, but is just half a rebound of leading the Heat in rebounding already. That’s led to the Heat turning into one of the worst rebounding teams in the NBA.

The Miami Heat plans to use its two open roster spots to sign veterans Kevin Love and Cody Zeller to add frontcourt depth.

With the NBA currently in the middle of the All-Star break, the Heat (32-27) will reconvene for practice in Miami on Thursday before resuming its schedule Friday against the Bucks in Milwaukee. The Heat’s decision to add a pair of frontcourt players with its two open roster spots comes as the Kyle Lowry situation has recently started trending in a more positive direction. Now that the roster is full, the Heat doesn’t have room to convert Robinson’s two-way contract to a standard contract or bring back guard Jamaree Bouyea after his 10-day contract expired on Friday. Undrafted rookie Orlando Robinson, who is on a two-way contract, took over for Dedmon and has played as the Heat’s backup center since early January to somewhat stabilize the non-Adebayo minutes. Backup center has been a glaring hole in the Heat’s rotation since the start of the season when Dewayne Dedmon was being used in that role. 9 trade deadline, but the Heat is on track to add an accomplished 34-year-old five-time All-Star and an experienced 10-year veteran to fill its two open roster spots just days later.
