With the Cleveland Cavaliers coming up short in The Finals for the second straight year and LeBron James able to decline his player option and enter free agency this summer, it's quite possible the entire roster could be headed for a dramatic overhaul.

That includes Kevin Love, who could be traded this offseason, either to acquire a new piece to play alongside James or as phase one of a rebuilding effort.

"Anything is possible," Love said, according to WKYC's Matthew Florjancic. "People have been saying that for the past four years. I knew that question would come, but I like to be here. I've always said that. Always wanted to win here."

Love is under contract for $24.1 million next season with a player option worth $25.6 million for 2019-20. The five-time All-Star has averaged 17.1 points, 10 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game since arriving in Cleveland in 2014.

For now, it appears Love is still unsure if his professional marriage with James will continue for the foreseeable future.

"It's something where I'm sure he will spend time with his family and when that time comes to make a decision, he will be in a good frame of mind," Love said. "Obviously, I'd love to play with LeBron the rest of my career, but that will be a choice that he makes."
