Kevin Love Wants to Opt Out During Free Agency



          Cavaliers bad start was a tough time for the Cavaliers, but their current standing record in the NBA Eastern Conference is 3-3 which makes them 500 or fifty percent. This means they are fifty percent with winning and losing ratio. This ratio allows them to compete in the NBA Finals. The team with the best winning ratio will be the first seed in the playoffs and allows them to have home court advantage first. If teams are under the 500 ratio will not be a contender in the finals unless other teams have a worst ratios than a certain team. Besides all the ratio explaining, rumors have been flying around that when free agency comes for Kevin Love which is during the off season. Rumor has it that Kevin Love is strongly considering to test free agency when it comes time. For Cavalier fans we do not know what to think. It could be true or it could not be. It is too early in the beginning of the season to believe. Rumor reports that Kevin Love wants to opt out and the Los Angeles Lakers are considering to sign Love if he does test free agency. Opting out of a NBA contract is that players are allowed to test free agency. The team that the player was currently playing with only has the chance to pursue the players mind to resign with them. They do not have the right to take away the choice of the player to test free agency. The contract that the player sign before signing to a team says they have the right to opt out and test free agency when it comes time. Players could ask for trades and they have the right to ask the teams manager to trade them and the player could consider which teams and work out a trade for player(s) to work out a deal to benefit each team. If this rumor is true this is making Love look bad for the Cavalier organization. Other teams will try and consider and pursue which player they are targeting to sign with their organization. If Kevin Love opts out and considers signing with the Lakers that means that it was not their bad start to the season though. It has to be player issues or he does not like his role on the Cavaliers. It could also be money. The Los Angeles Lakers have a worse ratio than the Cavaliers. The Lakers current record for the 2014-15 season is 1-6. Which will make it hard for the Lakers to be a contender for the playoffs. Why sign to a team that is struggling worse than the team that you are currently signed with? We do not know if this rumor is true. Kevin Love has not faced media yet to answer if the rumor is true or not. I will have a report on this rumor if it is true or not when Love faces media.

  1. I had a feeling that Kevin Love was gonna test free agency. I think right now Kevin Love is feeling things and what team he might want to go to. I think that he should stay in Cleveland if he wants a ring. Going to the Lakers is not a good choice for him if they are doing bad. The only reason why I think he might want to go to the Lakers is that he wants to play with Kobe. Kobe to me does not have that much time in the NBA and if Love wants to play with him than let him. I hope that Kevin Love does stay with Cleveland and those's were just rumors.
