Kevin Love has officially put to bed the rumors surrounding his potential move to the Los Angeles Lakers that circulated throughout the web earlier this week. You can read about it here.
“Whatever [people assumed] we were doing with our hands was about as true as me going to the Lakers,” Love said after shootaround in advance of the Cavaliers’ game against the Boston Celtics. “I mean, I don’t know why it was so hard for people to realize that we were actually curling our mustache. I guess because I had my fingers in the wrong place. Looking at the tape — film don’t lie — it looks like we are doing something bad, but that wasn’t the case.”
Kevin Love will have the early termination option in his contract, which we all assume will mean a leave of absence from current team, the Cleveland Cavaliers. In an interview today, he made it clear that he hadn’t made his mind up about this decision.
“Going to the Lakers, no, that’s not [true],” Love said. “I don’t know where somebody got that.”
The interview also discussed the meeting with Rajon Rondo and Love over the summer at a Boston Red Sox game. Love maintained that his trip to Boston had nothing to do with a potential move to the Celtics.
“The fact is, my agent is a big Red Sox fan,” Love said. “I’d been planning on that for a long time to come in and check out not only the city, but a Red Sox game, and we had a great time and we plan on coming back.
“It’s tough because I wasn’t a free agent last summer. I have potential to be a free agent this summer or next. It’s just one of those things. It’s obviously a tremendous city. People love it here. Basketball and sports in general are huge here, but it’s been fantastic being a part of the Cavaliers now. We have a team that’s formidable, has a big presence and we see a lot of you guys [in the media] on a daily basis.”
“It’s the world we live in now,” Love said. “Stuff like that can happen.
