Kevin Love, Cavaliers Agree to Reported 4-Year, $120M Contract Extension
The Cleveland Cavaliers and Kevin Love have agreed to a contract extension.
According to Adrian Wojnarowski and Brian Windhorst of ESPN, the deal is for four years and $120 million.
Love is set to make $24.1 million in the 2018-19 season before his extension kicks in. Love chose to opt out of his $25.5 million salary for the 2019-20 season to sign his new deal, per ESPN's report, which will pay him an average of $30 million per season.
Love, 29, averaged 17.6 points and 9.3 rebounds per game with the Cavaliers last season, though he never quite offered the level of production as LeBron James' running mate as he had earlier in his career with the Minnesota Timberwovles. The season before Love was traded to Cleveland for Andrew Wiggins in 2014, he averaged 26.1 points, 12.5 rebounds and 4.4 assists per contest.
