The Cleveland Cavaliers ended 2019 with renewed hope they will be able to trade forward Kevin Love, it was reported Wednesday.
The New York Times’ Marc Stein tweeted he “heard some fresh optimism” the Cavs could complete a deal for Love before the Feb. 7 NBA trade deadline.
Love, 31, signed a reported four-year, $120 million extension with the Cavaliers in the summer of 2018. It is believed the combination of the 12-year veteran’s age and salary might discourage teams from pursuing a deal.
Love is averaging 16.5 points, 10.6 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 28 games this season for the Cavs (10-23). He’s shooting 44.8 percent overall and 37.5 percent from 3-point range. The five-time All-Star has career averages of 18.2 points and 11.2 rebounds in 685 career games with the Minnesota Timberwolves (2008-14) and Cavaliers.
