Next Up: Indians vs. Orioles at Camden Yards
June 26, 2015NBA Free Agency: Cavaliers sign Keifer Sykes, John Shurna
June 26, 2015Minnesota Timberwolves point guard and former teammate of Cleveland Cavaliers power forward Kevin Love told FOX Sports 1 that the Wine and Gold would have been the ones to hoist the Larry O’Brien trophy if not for the team’s ill-timed bout with injuries.
“I think so,” said Rubio of the Cavs winning. “Kevin Love makes a difference. He is a great power forward who can shoot the ball very well and could help that team win.”
Rubio and Love played together in Minnesota where the two led the Timberwolves to a 40-win season in 2013-14, just missing the playoffs. Love was dealt to Cleveland that subsequent summer, leaving the point guard with forward Andrew Wiggins and a rebuilding scenario. Love, in turn, played a key role in the Cavaliers huge second half which ultimately led to a No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference.
Love has declined his $16 million option for the 2015-16 season with the Cavaliers and is set to become a free agent on July 1. Cavs GM David Griffin has stated several times that the team is confident in their abilities to reach a new deal with the All-Star forward who sustained a season-ending shoulder injury in the opening round of the Eastern Conference Playoffs.
