Kevin Love wants to reunite with LeBron James in Philadelphia
The veteran forward is interested in teaming up again with his former Cleveland teammate, and his agent has already contacted the Sixers. The problem: the roster is full. Utah is also still in the picture.
Kevin Love is interested in a reunion with LeBron James, this time in a Philadelphia uniform, but as of now, it is unclear if there will be room for it on the roster. According to Dave McMenamin of ESPN, Love's agent, Jeff Schwartz, has already been in contact with the Philadelphia front office since James chose to join the team. However, the Sixers already have 15 players under contract, so even if the desire exists, there is currently no open spot on the roster.
Love and James have remained close since their time together in Cleveland, and even spent quite a bit of time together over the summer during the 10-year anniversary celebrations of the Cavaliers' 2016 championship. Despite this, the personal connection between the two does not necessarily guarantee Love a contract in Philadelphia.
Love and James played together in Cleveland for four seasons, between 2014 and 2018. During that period, they reached the NBA Finals four consecutive times and won a championship together in 2016, following the historic victory over Golden State.
According to the report, a return of Love to the Utah Jazz is also not off the table. The forward has a good relationship with coach Will Hardy, but the Utah roster is also full at this stage. Last year, the 37-year-old forward recorded 6.7 points and 5.8 rebounds per game, with 37.3 percent from beyond the arc, in his 37 appearances for the Jazz.
