Love, who is in the final year of a four-year, $120 million extension, and the Cavs will work together to figure out how much of his salary ($28.9 million) he will give back in a potential buyout.

Love is averaging a career-low 8.5 points and 6.8 rebounds this season while shooting just 38.9% from the field and 35.4% from 3-point range.

Love hasn't played since Jan. 24, and shortly after that performance, Cavaliers coach J.B. Bickerstaff had a conversation with him about no longer being in the rotation.
