Fedor adds that when the front office gave Love a four-year extension last summer, it viewed him as part of the foundation for the future, along with
Collin Sexton,
Cedi Osman,
Larry Nance Jr. and this year’s first-rounder, which landed at No. 5. Love played just 22 games last season, and Fedor doesn’t believe it’s likely that a team would make a significant offers to the Cavaliers given Love’s age, contract and injury risk.
There’s more from the Central Division:
- Jordan Clarkson could be a valuable trade piece heading into the final year of his contract, and the Cavaliers may start talks as early as this summer, Fedor adds in the same piece. Clarkson averaged a career-high 16.8 points per game off the bench this season and has an affordable $13.4MM salary for next year. Fedor states that Cleveland may have to take on long-term salary, but he expects the organization to receive a first-round pick or a pair of second-rounders in exchange for Clarkson.
- With the Pacers facing six important free agent decisions this summer, J. Michael of The Indianapolis Star examines the pros and cons of keeping each player. What the team does with Thaddeus Young, Cory Joseph, Darren Collison, Kyle O’Quinn, Bojan Bogdanovic and Wesley Matthews will shape the offseason, and it could create about $45MM in cap room by letting them all go.
- The city of Milwaukee is considering a $400K settlement with Sterling Brown regarding an incident in which police officers allegedly used a stun gun to arrest him over a parking violation, writes Ivan Moreno of The Associated Press. Brown, who sued the city over the incident, received an apology from Police Chief Alfonso Morales. Milwaukee’s Common Council has a June 10 vote scheduled on the proposed settlement.
Pacers must give Holliday minutes. He’s a baller. Keep young…most consistent player on the roster…plays lock down D….rebounds…good for young guys. Myles turner shot selection must improve….stop chucking up 3’s….should not have given him that huge contract.
Turner shoots 39% from 3 and also has the best defensive numbers and second-best PER on the team. Wrong target for bashing.
Was Sterling Brown player parked in shopping center in Milwaukee and all on camera harassed?
Kevin Love: Milwaukee, Indiana, Portland, Charlotte.
Indiana reporting here: “no thank you”
I can only hope Portland agrees with Indiana above
If he’s healthy, which is a concern, why wouldn’t a contending team want a stretch 4 who can rebound and shoot the 3? We live in an offensive minded game. His defense can me mitigated on a team with good defenders elsewhere.
He can play center too, which helps some defensively.
are you trying to say K Love is good for those teams? or any…Charlotte is probably your best bet they seem to love wasting money…
K-Love is a star, so is good for any team in the league!
