CLEVELAND (AP) All-Star forward Kevin Love has signed a new four-year, $120 million contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers, who are beginning anew following LeBron James’ departure.
Love signed the extension Tuesday.
The 29-year-old just completed his fourth season with Cleveland, which was swept by Golden State in the NBA Finals. That loss was followed by James leaving in free agency to sign with the Los Angeles Lakers.
Love, who has been mentioned in trade speculation since arriving in Cleveland, now becomes the centerpiece of the franchise. He averaged 17.6 points and 9.3 rebounds last season when he made his fifth All-Star team.
Love said he is ”super excited and I couldn’t be happier. It’s a big commitment for me and it’s a big commitment from the Cavaliers.”
Last season, Love revealed he has battled anxiety throughout his life.
