The Cleveland Cavaliers don’t have a lot of money to throw at free agents, and their roster looks mostly set.
Then again, they could use another veteran leader, someone with major playoff experience who could take younger players under his wing.
That’s why they could seek a reunion with Kevin Love.
According to Bovada, the Cavs are the betting favorites to be Love’s next team, via NBACentral.

Cleveland Cavaliers +185
Golden State Warriors +260
Los Angeles Lakers +375
Miami Heat +375
Indiana Pacers +625
Portland Trail Blazers +750 pic.twitter.com/I9aQKQY3ZL— NBACentral (@TheDunkCentral) July 8, 2025
The Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Lakers, Miami Heat, Indiana Pacers and Portland Trail Blazers are other potential destinations, according to oddsmakers.
Love might want to join former teammate LeBron James with the Lakers, as he was born and raised in California and attended UCLA, so getting back home would make perfect sense.
However, a return to Cleveland might give him a better chance to win another championship before ending his career.
Granted, Love’s days with the Cavaliers weren’t always positive, and there were multiple reports of some bad blood between him and the organization.
Then again, he was there for almost a decade and played a pivotal role in helping the team win its only NBA championship, so fans will always be grateful to him.
Love isn’t the player he used to be, and he’s barely been a factor on the court for the past couple of seasons with the Miami Heat.
He reportedly will be bought out by the Utah Jazz and become a free agent.
The Cavaliers need leaders, and he would be a good pickup at the right price.
