Overview
- Reporters widely expect Utah to trade or buy out Love before the 2025-26 season, with one outlet reporting a potential resolution within two weeks.
- The 37-year-old was sent to the Jazz on July 7 in a three-team deal that multiple outlets characterized as Miami’s cost-cutting move.
- Love is in the final year of his deal and, after averaging 5.3 points and 4.1 rebounds in 10.9 minutes last season, is viewed primarily as a veteran mentor.
- Denver has been floated as a possible landing spot due to Love’s relationship with coach David Adelman and an open 15th roster slot, though no agreement is reported.
- The Nuggets’ front office is not rushing to fill that spot, suggesting any pursuit of Love would hinge on timing and his availability.
