ALL IN

After such an up and down year for Kevin Love and speculation he might be leaving the Cleveland Cavaliers in free agency, there is absolutely no doubt about what he’s going to do now. Love will be returning to Cleveland and continue his career in a Cavs uniform.

Upon being traded from the Minnesota Timberwolves, this was the plan the whole time, but it seems like Cleveland held their end of the bargain even if their salary cap is taking them head first into luxury tax. Love has agreed to a deal in the ballpark of $110 million over five years, so he’s in it for the long term.

After Game 1 of the NBA Finals, that’s when it really struck me. Sitting on the sidelines, I never wanted to play in a game more than that one. I had dreamed of playing in the NBA Finals and I just wanted to help my guys win. I couldn’t have been prouder of them as they poured their blood, sweat and tears onto the court.

Yeah, of course I’ve heard the free agency rumors. But at the end of the day, and after meeting with my teammates (it turns out pools are great meeting places) and with the front office, it was clear Cleveland was the place for me. We’re all on the same page and we’re all in. We have unfinished business and now it’s time to get back to work.
