The Cavaliers and Kevin Love went their separate ways this week, agreeing to a contract buyout that will enable the veteran forward to sign elsewhere for the remainder of the season. Amid his exit from Cleveland, Love reportedly has been linked with the Heat and 76ers as potential landing spots.
Just because Love’s tenure with the Cavaliers ended early doesn’t mean there’s any bad blood between him and the organization, however. In fact, Cleveland’s President of Basketball Operations, Koby Altman, said he’s hopeful the 34-year-old will eventually have his jersey hanging from the rafters at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, via NBA.com.
“Kevin represented the organization and the city of Cleveland with the utmost charm and professionalism during his nine seasons in Northeast Ohio. He also embodied everything a franchise would want in a player, and the admiration and gratitude we have for him will ultimately land his jersey in the rafters of Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse,” said Altman in a statement on Saturday.
