CLEVELAND (AP) — A person familiar with the situation says Kevin Love has had discussions with the Cleveland Cavaliers about a contract buyout. The five-time All-Star was recently dropped from the rotation and approached the team about a potential buyout, according to the person who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because negotiations continue. Love is in the final year of a four-year, $120 million contract. The 34-year-old hasn’t played in the last 12 games. He’s been with Cleveland since 2014 and had a major role in the team winning the 2016 title, the city’s first pro sports championship since 1964.
