Kevin Love Los Angeles Lakers Bound? Sources Close To Power Forward Say He Is Out Of Cleveland Before Next Season

It seems like reports of Kevin Love leaving the Cleveland Cavaliers will come to fruition once the off-season arrives.        His likely destination? The Los Angeles Lakers.

Just when the Cleveland Cavaliers were getting more cohesive with Kevin Love and were developing tremendous amount of team chemistry during this year's playoffs, Kevin Love got injured in the first round of the playoffs when Kelly Olynyk pulled his shoulder, dislocating it.

Kevin Love is now watching his team inch closer to the Finals without him. That could mean two things: On one hand, the Cleveland Cavaliers can win without Kevin Love, making him expendable. On the other hand, this could convince him to stick around and try to win another championship with Kyrie and LeBron.

However, ESPN's Brian Windhorst joined Zach Lowe in a podcast via Real GM and both said that sources close to Kevin Love is hinting that the power forward will pack his bags by the end of this season and play for the Los Angeles Lakers.

Here's some of the most interesting bits in the Podcast.

According to Lowe, "Part of what's going on there is the Lakers' boogeyman. They don't just say he's out of there, they say he's going to the Lakers. That has much to do with the fear people have of the Lakers as it does with Kevin Love."

While Brian Windhorst said, "I can't read on Kevin. His personality is a little bit different than many players I've covered. He has at every turn even gone ouf of his way to make statements about how he intends to remain in Cleveland."

"Every executive I talk to, every agent I talk to, every quasi insider, every girlfriend's cousin's sister's boyfriend all says this guy is out of there," Windhorst added.

In six months, fans will see what jersey Kevin Love will be donning when the 2015-2016 season begins.
