Love wrote about his decision in an article called “Unfinished Business” on The Players’ Tribune.
“I’m going back to Cleveland,” Love wrote. “After Game 1 of the NBA Finals, that’s when it really struck me. Sitting on the sidelines, I never wanted to play in a game more than that one. I had dreamed of playing in the NBA Finals and I just wanted to help my guys win. I couldn’t have been prouder of them as they poured their blood, sweat and tears onto the court…At the end of the day, and after meeting with my teammates (it turns out pools are great meeting places) and with the front office, it was clear Cleveland was the place for me.”
The former All-Star opted out of his contract this summer to become a free agent, and there was speculation that he may leave Cleveland for the Los Angeles Lakers. However, Cleveland always expected to re-sign him.
