RUMOR: Kevin Love ‘Will Seriously Consider’ Opting Out

[CameronCrazy06]

While the Cavaliers will be championship contenders for the next couple of seasons, Love still has an opportunity to opt-out of his current contract and become an unrestricted free agent next summer.

As a result, Sam Smith of Bulls.com writes that Love will seriously consider opting out and has his eyes on a return to Los Angeles:

Its not going to get as much discussion during the season, but one of the biggest issues for the Cavs is that both LeBron James and Kevin Love own opt outs after this season. LeBron James basically cannot afford to go anywhere after his return to Cleveland. But watch out for Love. Indications are he will seriously consider the opt out and has his eyes on a return to Los Angeles, where he attended college and where the Lakers long have had him on their free agent wish list.

Although the chances of Love not re-signing with the Cavaliers are slim even after opting-out, anything can happen from now to July. Taking into account the Dwight Howard-Lakers situation in 2012, there would have to be a lot of issues during the course of the season for the All-Star forward to actually leave Cleveland.

For the Lakers, they will have ample cap space once again this upcoming off-season after signing most of the roster to one-year contracts. With the Lakers getting their first win of the season, they will look to build on it as they travel to Memphis to play the Grizzlies.

EVERYONE HERE SHOULD KNOW THEY IS NEVER NO POINT TO POST ANYTHING THAT IS ABOUT THE CAVS UNLESS IT'S GOOD.

Love and Bron are both opting out; it's about getting more and more money

Did you even read what I posted?

The article states in it that it us unlikely he leaves the Cavs, so please make me aware of the point of it other than a website trying to get hits.

I don't care about negative opinions of the Cavs. I'm just confused by people reading a headline and drawing a conclusion

It's a rumor that's why it was made.

clearly i did.

Also, the guy who came up with the "rumor" suggested the Cavs trade Kyrie Irving for Kobe Bryant, but said the only thing stopping it was kyrie not being on his max yet. Also said the Wiz should trade Beal for Kobe, just so you're aware of the credibility involved in the story and guy you're defending against me

The article also says love has his eyes on LA. So yea, I agree with Dan. The article contradicts itself

Imagine. Giving up the potential of Wiggins to go balls out for a year.
 
Seriously though, while unlikely if he's gonna do it at all it's gotta be for LA, no?
