    I see the Cavs are now going back to being the Cavs again.

    Yeah, feels like an overpay to me too. I would do a lot for Love, but I wouldn't do that. [/meatloaf]

    Maybe they think they can get a trade package like the Clippers got for Blake's bloated deal. Not sure which of the two contracts are the worst.

    In the bright side, it is now a plausible trade of Turner and Leonard for Love.

    I can't look it up at the moment, how long is it until he is eligible to be traded now?

    Since it's a four-year extension, it appears that he cannot be traded for six months.

    Looking more and more like Neil won’t be able to do much more this offseason. Not sure why I expected anything different.

    Gotta bank on one of the rookies making an impact and/or Collins taking the next step in his game.

    $30 million a year for the aging, oft-injured Kevin Love on a team that's going nowhere?

    WTF?

    At least they have a chance to lose their top-10 protected 1st round pick now to Atlanta. (Wait, what?)

    Small market team can't afford to let their star to go for nothing, they traded 2 No. 1 draft pick for him. I think that's asset retention in the terms by NO.
    They need to sign him to a longer deal to give them either a change in the East or asset to make trade down the road instead of trading him for nothing since team will see it as a rental.

    There is prevailing thought in my twitterverse that this makes Love more tradeable since there isn't a fear of him bolting in a year.

    The problem is he just went from an okay amount of trade value (granted probably less than he should be) to zero trade value in the future. It's the same thing that happened with Blake Griffin. No one wants to take on a deal that pays someone who is injury prone over $30 million per year into their mid-30's. Plus, by signing Love instead of trading him they are more likely to lose their 2019 1st round pick.

    Yeah, I imagine Cleveland looks to move him, but now hes not a rental.
    The problem with that is, you trade for him, and you have him 4 more years at 30 a year

    As yuy said, more than one person is saying that there is one GM that will panic and take on that mega contract.

    Kevin Love for Ryan Anderson plus picks works under the trade tracker. Think Houston would not jump on that?
