It appears Kevin Love‘s tenure with the Cleveland Cavaliers is coming to an end after eight seasons.
The Cavaliers and Love are reportedly finalizing a contract buyout, according to Shams Charania and Jason Lloyd of The Athletic.

The 34-year-old power forward/centre is in the final season of a four-year contract he signed with the Cavaliers in 2018. He is averaging 8.5 points, 6.8 rebounds and 1.9 assists over 41 games during the 2022-23 season.
A five-time all-star, Love was traded to the Cavaliers from the Timberwolves in a blockbuster deal in August 2014 that saw former No. 1 overall picks Anthony Bennett and Andrew Wiggins sent to Minnesota.
Love helped Cleveland win the NBA title in 2016 and is the only player from the championship-winning lineup remaining on the Cavaliers.
Cleveland (38-23) is fourth in the Eastern Conference and had its seven-game winning streak snapped Wednesday night with a 118-112 loss on the road to the Philadelphia 76ers.
