Any hope of Kevin Love returning to the Cleveland Cavaliers before the 2025-26 season appears to have been extinguished by the signing of Thomas Bryant. Cleveland's need for interior depth may not be permanently resolved, but adding Bryant seemingly rules out the possibility of an additional move.
It's entirely possible that the Cavaliers will attempt to acquire Love during the 2025-26 regular season, but until then, a reunion appears unrealistic.
All eyes are on Love and the Utah Jazz as the expectation grows that he'll accept a buyout in an attempt to play for a contender this coming season.
