An intriguing prospect for the Warriors’ 15th roster spot is set to hit the buyout market.
An intriguing prospect for the Warriors’ 15th roster spot entered the conversation shortly after Golden State wrapped up its 58th game of the season and the team scattered for the All-Star break.
After all those years of going at it in the NBA Finals, could the Love and the Warriors unite and write a playoff story of their own?The Warriors were interested in acquiring Love back in 2014 when he wanted out of Minnesota. A deal for him, though, would have likely required Klay Thompson, and then-team consultant Jerry West threatened to quit if Golden State went through with it.
The 6-foot-8 forward has been dealing with a thumb injury that has impacted his shooting this season. He was cut from the Cavaliers’ rotation in recent weeks, having not played in their last 12 games, which led to the expected buyout agreement. Love has 15 years of experience and is known for being a high-IQ player, a trait the Warriors value. He would provide a veteran presence to the bench and would be an upgrade from two-way forward Anthony Lamb, who has been a regular in the rotation this season.One of the biggest highlights of Love’s career is a moment that went down in Warriors infamy.
