CLEVELAND, Ohio -- This is a story about how Kevin Love was true to his word.

That needs to be repeated because it's not always the case with athletes -- and people in general.

In the first press conference after General Manager David Griffin acquired Love in a deal from Minnesota, the power forward said he planned to stay in Cleveland for more than a year.

All during the season, Love indicated he would return to the Cavs for 2015-16. At one point, he indicated that he'd pick up his $16.5-million player option for the upcoming season.
