It's the same story with Kevin Love since he came
to Cleveland finishing off LeBron's big three in the decision part 2. The
Cavaliers pulled of a blockbuster deal sending then first overall pick Andrew
Wiggins to the Timberwolves for Kevin Love. Since the trade Wiggins has been a
bright young star with the Wolves, winning both rookie of the year and the MVP
at the NBA's rising stars’ competition. As for Love his first year in Cleveland
was brought to an end with a shoulder injury in the first round against the
Boston Celtics.
After the injury many questions were raised about
whether Love was a good fit in Cleveland, and if he wanted leave there entering
free agency. He subsequently returned on a five year 110-million-dollar deal
and in his second year as a part of the Cavs big three has been solid in
certain games. But another injury this time a concussion, has raised more
questions about Love's durability. Add in a Cavaliers blow out victory with
Love watching instead of playing, more questions have been raised. Richard
Jefferson's decent performance in the Cavs victory could spell the of Love's
starting time in this year’s finals.
It could also bring in end to Love's time in
Cleveland as many experts have stated that without a victory in this year’s
finals. The Cavs will look to appease LeBron by upgrading their roster, which
could lead to a Kevin Love sweepstakes. One team who was reportedly in on Love
at the trade deadline was the Boston Celtics who made a big push two summers
ago for Love. The Celtics reportedly made a low ball offer to the Cavs right
before the trade deadline looking to upgrade their roster. With Love's stock
seemingly at an all time low, the Celtics may not have to give up much to bring
the big man to Boston.
Tyronn Lue will have tough decision with Love and the Cavaliers lineup
come game four on Friday night in Cleveland. Almost like Steve Kerr last year
in the finals when he decided to sit Andrew Bogut and put in
Andre Iguodala. Which turned the tide for the Warriors and brought the
Larry O'Brien trophy back to the bay area for the fourth time. Friday night
will provide the answers that so many are looking for, and who knows maybe Love
has a breakout game silencing the critics.
