You really can’t follow Cleveland sports without nervously keeping an eye on upcoming free agency periods. There was LeBron James during his first tenure with the Cleveland Cavaliers, Albert Belle and Jim Thome leaving the Cleveland Indians, and numerous other big name players who fled the city for what they believed were greener pastures.
So, anytime a star player on a Cleveland team is approaching the end of his contract, it’s only natural for fans to begin panicking. Right now, said player is Cavs forward Kevin Love.
As everyone knows by now, Love can opt out of his deal with Cleveland this summer.
