Kevin Love Tells Media He’s Staying In Cleveland

Kevin Love spoke to the media for the first time since his shoulder surgery on Sunday afternoon, in which he stated that he would be back with the Cavs next year.

When asked if he planned on being with the Cavaliers in the fall of 2015, Love said those were his plans. Then prodded to reiterate, Love said, "Yes sir" when questioned again as to whether or not he would be in a Cleveland jersey after this summer.

The former Timberwolves star was traded to the Cavs last year after Lebron James inked with his hometown team.

Since arriving, the Love story has gotten tons of press with speculation that he's not happy being the third wheel in Cleveland behind James and Kyrie Irving. He has the opportunity to opt of his deal this off-season, if he would like to.

If he were to opt out, Love would be a highly sought after free agent, to say the least.

In the second round of the post-season, Love dislocated his shoulder and had immediate season-ending surgery. Since then, James has taken the team on his back.

Also of note, Love said that he has lost 15 pounds since the surgery.
