Kevin Love Reveals What He Told LeBron James After Lakers Move

Kevin love said he didn’t know anything about LeBron’s move to Los Angeles. It was the message on his phone that unveiled the mystery.

LeBron James shocked everyone with his four-year deal with the Los Angeles Lakers. Many thought he’d stay with the Cleveland Cavaliers, while others said he’d join some other team. LeBron spent four seasons with the Cavaliers, and then flew straight to Los Angeles. Many of his fellow basketball players shared their opinion on the contract, including Kevin Love.

Although LeBron and Love were teammates and friends off the basketball court, Love didn’t know anything about the king’s new contract.

Love went on ESPN’s show Get Up, and talked about his move.

“LeBron’s always looking for a new challenge. He’s always looking for a new opportunity and the plays he was going on the court and off the court, I think he wanted to see how he can impact another team and L.A. was the right fit for him. I kind of had a feel for it towards free agency but I actually got the news when I was in New York [and] looked at my phone and thought ‘OK he’s off to the Lakers’. I wished him the best. I text him, told him I loved him and we go from there,” he said.

“It’s a new opportunity with the Cavs and we are really going to have to step up. We have veteran guys, younger players too that are going to be able to help us. But it’s going to be interesting to see where this goes,” Love added.
Love is the main character at the Quicken Loans Arena, and he’s super excited. “It’s a never ending, always evolving, process but now with LeBron gone, I think we’ll see a lot of the sets that were in Minnesota as well as what Ty Lue has implemented over the last few years,” he said.
