Kevin Love continues to stir speculations regarding his potential trade this summer. The 37-year-old made fans wonder about his next move after a buyout from the Jazz. The five-time NBA All-Star was traded from the Miami Heat to the Jazz in a three-team deal this summer, and many believe he might seek a buyout to join other playoff contender teams.
At 37, Love had a smaller role with the Heat last season. He averaged 5.3 points and 4.1 rebounds in only 10.9 minutes per game. The year before, he played more and had better numbers. Still, he brings veteran experience and leadership that helped the Cleveland Cavaliers win a championship in 2016.
According to The Stein Line reports, Kevin Love will likely report to the Jazz training camp. The Jazz is a young team, and Love’s playoff experience may help guide the younger roster to make a strong push for a title run.
The franchise is still rebuilding, but having someone like Love in the locker room could boost their confidence on the court. Although Love is reportedly eyeing other teams in the West, he will attend the training camp for now. If no buyout happens, he may start the season with the Jazz.
