Overview

• The plan for Love to attend camp was first reported by The Stein Line’s Marc Stein and Jake Fischer, who said no serious buyout talks had occurred as of Sept. 15.
• Love was traded from the Heat to Utah in July, fueling expectations he would seek a buyout to join a playoff contender.
• Reports have linked potential interest to the Lakers or Clippers, with his post‑buyout market viewed as something that could develop closer to midseason.
• Utah could still agree to a buyout before Media Day, though current reporting describes team expectations that he will start the week with the Jazz.
• Given reduced minutes with Miami last season, when he averaged 5.3 points and 4.1 rebounds in 10.9 minutes, Love is projected for a mentoring and depth role.
