Cavs' Jarrett Allen Jokes Kevin Love Went out 'For Milk and Cigarettes' Before Buyout

Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen had a humorous response to Kevin Love's buyout.

Speaking to reporters on Thursday, Allen joked he was told Love was "going for milk and cigarettes and he just never came back."

Love and the Cavs finalized a buyout on Feb. 18. The five-time All-Star spent nine seasons in Cleveland, winning a title with the team during the 2015-16 campaign.

Even though Allen joked about the move, it does seem like Cavs players were caught off guard by Love's desire to be bought out.

Donovan Mitchell told reporters on Wednesday he "was shocked" when he learned of the buyout.
