Chuan Love seeks to leave the team!

4:53pm, 4 August 2025【Basketball】

On August 4, Marc Stein, a well-known NBA reporter, revealed the news: Kevin Love, a fifth-time All-Star insider who just settled in Utah in a three-party transaction, is actively seeking ways to leave the Jazz, and the buyout market is on the rise again! The transaction was completed, and the Clippers, Jazz and Heat had reached a three-party deal, and Love, Li Kaile and a 2027 second round pick were packaged and delivered to the Jazz. However, the dust has not yet been settled, and Stein revealed in the latest report: "The good show in the buyout market is coming! After Love was sent to the Jazz by the Heat as part of Powell's tripartite transaction, he is actively exploring the possibility of leaving Utah." The veteran wandered, and the Jazz may become a short-term station

This news made the Jazz instantly the fourth stop in Love's long career - before he played for the Timberwolves, the Cavaliers and the Heat. Last season at the Heat, 35-year-old Love averaged 10.9 minutes per game in the regular season, contributing 5.3 points and 4.1 rebounds, and both shooting and three-point shooting percentages were about 35%. Although the data is plain, its high-level support and rebounding sense are still scarce resources.

The buyout market is undercurrent

Stein specifically points out the recent activity of the buyout market: Bill (joining the Clippers), Lillard (The Trail Blazers), Ayton (Lakes), Smart (Lakes), and Clarkson (Knicks) all quickly signed new owners after reaching a buyout. Love's movements undoubtedly add to the fire.

Jazz's choice and Love's future

Jazz holds the initiative: Should I try to use Love's experience to guide the young lineup, or seek a deal or buyout according to its wishes? For a team that is determined to win the championship, a champion veteran with experience in the finals and can open up space is always a low-risk, high-cost-performance option.
