Kevin Love signs 4-year, $120M extension with Cleveland

Man i actually forgot Lebron was still in the nba

 

Only the delusional ones, were trading Anderson etc for Love. I have always felt that, he wouldn't be able to move the needle for our Rockets.

 

So he gave up a shot at a 5th year for what would essentially be worth 101 million at 35?

 

Exactly!

Rocket River

 

Good for him getting paid, but what terrible working conditions. Guess his priorities are set but kind of like going to work every day to a job that you hate. Money can do a lot to helping alleviate that.

 

this contract has me thinking about how bad CP3’s could get in those final 2 years

I pray we win a title to make it all worth it

 

next level 8-D Go from lebron here. he went to miami to let cleveland get the rebuild they needed going while he won titles. then he came back when they had stocked up the cupboard. kevin love will help prevent cleveland from signing anyone in the intermediate term to make them better, he probably won't provide a ton of on-court value at this point anyway so he won't hurt their draft picks, and he'll be an expiring contract for a trade when lebron comes back for his final chapter.

 

Really, tho?

Cleveland isn't projected to make any noise in the East, nor are they under any pressure to make the playoffs. The way I look at it, its the perfect situation for someone like Love. Be THE guy, make your money, get your stats, and help usher in the new guy(s) in Sexton and other rookies.

LeBron has to turn coal into diamonds his first year. Harden and CP3 are expected to not only replicate their success from last season, but are also expected to get past the Warriors. Kawhi has to prove he's still the top 5 player he's known for being, all the while acclimating to a new team / country.

Point is, there are a lot worser situations than Love's current situation, where he's paid big bucks with no pressure.

 

If he can stay healthy he could outplay that contract, but he hasn't looked like the "Minnesota" KL in a long time. That contract seems a bit excessive and they'll probably regret giving him that.

 

I project him to be a top 5 fantasy player this upcoming season.

Harden
Westbrook
Giannis
Love

I'm fading Lebron.

 

Didn't go on vacation. Sorry!

Never once mentioned your mother. Just the tap water that you drank and the fact that you were/are in the hospital because of it. Sucks.

And, good that you finally explained yourself about what that thread was about. Only took circa 12 pages for you to do it, after many repeated attempts and requests. Only problem: that post was deleted! Lol

 

So what is that ?? Around 20-25 years we will see the first billion dollar contract?

 

My thing is who in the NBA would take on a $30 MM contact... Oops, nevermind some team will trade for him, regardless. He's still a good player.

 

Sure, this deal could age badly. Love could continue to get hurt or simply prove he’s not in the same stratosphere he once was — and the Cavaliers could be saddled with him the way, say, Houston is saddled with Ryan Anderson. But Love was an all-star in the past two seasons with James, and he should remain one for at least the next couple of years as the team is built around him.

oh Ryan...

 

XO/Love can be not just one person. Kevin was going to be the face of THe Land if he wasn't moved. And, believe me, it was discussed a lot. Gilbert needs to fill some seats. Understand that part.

 

Tobias Harris.

 

I wonder if the exit of Lue speeds this up.
