Five-time NBA All-Star Kevin Love’s Utah Jazz trade to end in buyout before 2025-26 season begins in October | NBA News
The 60-day trade restriction on the Utah Jazz’s newly acquired player, Kevin Love, officially ended on September 7. And just a day later, we hear he might not be starting the next season of his NBA career with the team. Not that it comes as a surprise to anyone, as the possibility of a buyout has been a part of the picture since Day 1. Although it has taken a while, especially with the 60-day restriction in place, it looks like this will be done sooner rather than later.
Kevin Love to reach buyout agreement with Utah Jazz soon
Kevin Love was traded to the Utah Jazz earlier this summer, although most people expected both parties to reach a contract buyout agreement before the next season began. Things have been slow on that front, though, and until now, there wasn’t much development regarding the matter. But now, with less than a month remaining before the next season starts, things are starting to pick up pace and fans might soon learn of a deal in place. The deal is set to take place within the next two weeks, although that also brings in the question of Kevin Love’s future in the league. This will be his 18th season in the NBA, and not a lot of time left before he hangs up the boots. So, what are the possibilities as his short stay in Utah comes to an end soon? Well… He could go to Los Angeles or New York, or even Cleveland, where he won the championship alongside LeBron James back in 2016. Nothing is set in stone yet, and we will learn more as the season approaches.
Kevin Love rings in his 37th birthday with an uncertain future in NBA
While his former Cleveland Cavaliers teammate and friend, LeBron James, wished Kevin Love on his 37th birthday with a simple message of “The Best Ever,” things are a little uncertain about where his future will lead. With the Utah Jazz looking for a buyout, possibly within the next two weeks, Love could be moving to free agency before the next season begins. The two former teammates, though, could team up for one last time, if Love ends up with the Los Angeles Lakers for a season before it begins next month. Love still has a few weeks in hand to decide his next destination in the NBA, and fans will have their fingers crossed in hopes of seeing these two friends get back inside the court together once again.
