Suns could sign Kevin Love

Kevin Love has been bought out of his contract by the Cavaliers and many teams have an interest in the 34-year-old big man. Teams such as the Suns, Lakers, and Heat have all been rumored to have an interest.

Phoenix is looking to add one more big man after trading away Dario Saric to the Thunder for Darius Bazley; they currently have one roster spot remaining and it is being said that the Suns would use their prorated Taxpayer Midlevel Exception to sign Love. That would ultimately beat out the Heat financially as they could only use their prorated veteran minimum contract.

Plus, Ish Wainright’s two-way contract has expired due to him playing all eligible games under that contract. The reason, why Wainright is being brought up in conversation, is due to the fact that the Suns may have to choose between him and Love. Something a lot of fans are speculating.

With that being said, Phoenix will have a crucial decision to make as after that decision they’ll have their playoff-ready roster. James Jones may add him because of his added value coming off the bench, despite the poor season he has had, and that both were teammates back in Jones’s playing days.
