\u201cFollow along as LeBron brings his friends and fans along for the journey as golf takes him to some of the world\u2019s greatest courses,\u201d the description on the page\u2019s first video reads. \u201cCome for the game, stay for the great local food, wine, and a whole lot of laughs along the way.\u201d<\/a> The first video features 96 minutes of footage of the reunion of the 2016 Cleveland Cavaliers and their summer golf trip to Scotland. Featuring J.R. Smith, Kevin Love, Richard Jefferson and others, the trip celebrated the 10th anniversary of Cleveland\u2019s only NBA title, when the Cavs rallied from a 3-1 series deficit to defeat the defending champion Golden State Warriors. \u2014 8\/15\/2026 New York Times<\/a><\/p>\n

The Sixers<\/a> are already at roster capacity after\u00a0signing another one\u00a0of James’ former teammates,\u00a0Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, to their last spot. And they already have two backup centers behind\u00a0Joel Embiid\u00a0in 23-year-old\u00a0Adem Bona\u00a0and 24-year-old\u00a0Ariel Hukporti. Philly would need to make a move to accommodate the 38-year-old Love, who averaged 6.7 points and 5.8 rebounds while shooting 37.3% from 3 off the bench for the Jazz last season. Though Love has\u00a0interest\u00a0in pairing with James to pursue a championship, he has maintained a strong relationship with Jazz coach Will Hardy, serving as a veteran voice with that young group,\u00a0sources\u00a0said. Utah, however, also has a full roster.<\/a> \u2014 8\/7\/2026 ESPN<\/a><\/p>\n

Dave McMenamin: Kevin Love’s agent, Jeff Schwartz of Excel Sports Management, has been in touch with the\u00a0Philadelphia 76ers’ front office since James picked Philadelphia,\u00a0sources\u00a0told\u00a0ESPN.<\/a> Though the 6-foot-10 Love and James have remained close since teaming up for four seasons with the Cavaliers and even vacationed extensively together this summer, that bond doesn’t necessarily mean there will be a roster spot for the former five-time All-Star by training camp. \u2014 8\/7\/2026 ESPN<\/a><\/p>\n

The Alley is at 435 Second St. in Lake Oswego. The space is 2,100 square feet. The initial lease they signed can be as long as six years. \u201cYou\u2019re getting a new series of demographic and generations of collectors, which makes it a fun space,\u201d Kevin said<\/a>. \u2014 7\/21\/2026 kgw.com<\/a><\/p>\n

On an overcast Thursday morning at a Lake Oswego storefront hidden away in an alley, NBA champion Kevin Love, towering over everyone at 6 feet, 10 inches, was preparing to open the doors of his new store for the first time. Aptly called The Alley, this new store is a Topps Authorized Direct Partner and sells trading cards,<\/a> carrying everything from packs of Poke\u0301mon cards to a special, mint condition shiny Michael Jordan card that\u2019ll set you back $375. \u2014 7\/21\/2026 kgw.com<\/a><\/p>\n

If James picks the Heat, there has been talk that Kevin Love could return to Miami. That certainly cannot be ruled out, but isn\u2019t something Miami has pursued to this point<\/a>. \u2014 7\/21\/2026 Miami Herald<\/a><\/p>\n

ESPN Cleveland: \u201cI wouldn\u2019t be surprised if Kevin Love is considered as a plus 1 to any team that acquires LeBron James,\u201d – @JakeLFischer<\/a>. (Via @BleacherReport) \u2014 7\/12\/2026 x.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Tristan Thompson: “The reality is this, David Blatt got hired to coach myself, Kyrie Irving, Dion Waiters, Tyler Zeller. He got hired before LeBron James signed back.<\/a> So he got hired to help this young Cavs team mature to be a playoff team. He didn’t get hired for LeBron James and Kevin Love to come in, you know, come be contenders. But the Cavs did a good job because they know David Blatt’s coming from EuroLeague and he had multiple EuroLeague. So, you bring Tyronn Lue in and I think they the Cavs knew also like, hey, we got David Blatt who has this great potential but then we also have this young whip snapper Tyronn Lue where if things don’t go right with Blatt and if we do get a superstar like the LeBron and James to come, we got someone that has credibility with LeBron James, that can kind of like make LeBron James feel comfortable.” \u2014 7\/6\/2026 YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n

Tristan Thompson: “I got to give a big shout out to Kevin Love. Kevin Love put it together. If you had to look at your bingo card and guess who would put it together back then, you would have said Kevin Love. Kevin Love has been in Miami. He has been taking that leadership role and he has done the group chat. So I am like, shout out to Kevin Love for doing it. He put his mind to it, got his team together, and we all showed up. It was amazing.”<\/a> \u2014 7\/6\/2026 YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n

Hosted by LeBron James, the luxury multi-country vacation featured core members of the historic 2015\u201316 roster, including Kevin Love, J.R. Smith, Richard Jefferson, Channing Frye, and Tristan Thompson, with Iman Shumpert and Matthew Dellavedova joining the group later. Despite playing in 13 games during that legendary postseason run, the 39-year-old Russian big was completely omitted from the planning. Speaking with the Russian outlet Sport Express on Friday,\u00a0Timofey Mozgov revealed that nobody from the title-winning squad text messaged or called him to join the summer trip.\u00a0\u201cYes, I saw the video of that party. No one wrote or called me. If I\u2019d been invited, I\u2019d have gladly joined. Of course, I\u2019d have loved to be there too, to drink some wine,\u201d\u00a0he answered when asked if an invitation had been extended<\/a>. \u2014 6\/27\/2026 EuroHoops.net<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cFollow along as LeBron brings his friends and fans along for the journey as golf takes him to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":829170,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3782],"tags":[72400,7,307,152,3954,6,91059,53093,72522,72404,72437,72860,97485,72546,72952,72405,72475,72406,308,72403],"class_list":["post-829169","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-minnesota-timberwolves","tag-accessfree","tag-basketball","tag-minnesota","tag-minnesota-timberwolves","tag-minnesotatimberwolves","tag-nba","tag-sourcehoops-hype","tag-sstssportsnba","tag-sstsnnba","tag-tagbasketball","tag-tagcontains-commerce-or-affiliate-content","tag-tagespn-inc","tag-tagkevin-love","tag-taglebron-james","tag-tagminnesota-timberwolves","tag-tagoverall-positive","tag-tagphiladelphia-76ers","tag-tagsports-news","tag-timberwolves","tag-typestory"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/117222915773606683","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/829169","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=829169"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/829169\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/829170"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=829169"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=829169"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=829169"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
