You can look at this two ways.
1- Love would be foolish not to at least explore free agency.
2- This is just wishful thinking and there is no way Love will leave Cavs and LeBron.
The interesting thing is one could be true now, but not be true later. Sam Smith from Bulls.com is the one who has Lakers fans hopes up.
It’s not going to get as much discussion during the season, but one of the biggest issues for the Cavs is that both LeBron James and Kevin Love own opt outs after this season. LeBron James basically cannot afford to go anywhere after his return to Cleveland. But watch out for Love. Indications are he will seriously consider the opt out and has his eyes on a return to Los Angeles, where he attended college and where the Lakers long have had him on their free agent wish list.
It is way too early to speculate anything. These are the type of hot takes, that just keep people on Twitter talking early in the season.
But………..
If for some reason the Cavs do fall apart, it is something to keep an eye on, just not at the moment.
