Kevin Love cools Knicks trade talk with Cavs prediction

New York is a nice place to visit. But the Cavaliers’ Kevin Love doesn’t see himself living there. At least as a Knick. In fact, Love doesn’t see himself leaving Cleveland any time soon.

“No, I don’t,” Love said when asked by reporters Friday at the Cavs practice facility in Independence, Ohio, if he expects to be traded. “I expect to be here for a long time.”

Love admitted he has been more concerned with getting his back in order than packing a suitcase. Love, a four-time All-Star, has missed two games with spasms but expects to face the Knicks at the Garden Saturday, when LeBron James and friends invade.
