Kevin Love Prefers To Play For Contending Team

Love, who signed a four-year, $120 million extension at the beginning of the 2018-19 season, still has three years and $90 million remaining on his contract after this season, per source.

The Portland Trailblazers reportedly had interest in signing Love, but considering they just guaranteed Carmelo Anthony’s contract, chances are they are no longer interested in the Lake Oswego native.

The Trailblazers also have the biggest payroll in the NBA, so signing Love could put them in the luxury tax for far beyond the season.
