With Kevin Love being sidelined by injury for the rest of the Cleveland Cavaliers playoff run, and the fact that he is about to become a free agent, is Love going to be fired from the Cavs. Already having a star in Kyrie Irving and the megastar that is LeBron James, the Cavaliers are going to be hard pressed to be able to afford to keep this triple threat together.
The injury to his arm occurred during the first round of the playoffs against the Boston Celtics, and he is expected to miss four to six months while recovering. According to Sports Illustrated.com, Love was not happy with how he became injured:
"I thought it was a bush-league play, I have no doubt in my mind that he did it on purpose. That's just not a basketball play. The league will take a look at it and it better be swift and just."
The fact that the Cavs had to trade away rookie sensation Andrew Wiggins (and then some) just to be able to have the opportunity of Love's service for hopefully more than one year, is going to be making this summer very difficult to face.
One saving grace for the Cavs, is that team chemistry-wise, Love has fit in well with his teammates and knows that they have his back, which might make him resign with the team. Cleveland.com tells how Irving especially took the injury very hard,
"It's just more of a devastation for us as a team...We've been building something for so long and internally we've done a great job of keeping everything in house and taking care of each other. And when one of your brothers goes down, there's a piece of us that went with him."
Do you think that Kevin Love should stay with the Cavaliers next season or become a free agent and pursue another team? Will this injury hamper LeBron's next title quest? Tell us what you think.
