The last remaining player from the Cavaliers' historic 2016 championship against the Warriors, is reportedly departing the team.
The team is reportedly parting ways with the last remaining player from their 2016 championship team, which upset the 73-9 Golden State Warriors and became the first team in NBA history to overcome a 3-1 series deficit in the Finals.
Love, 34, enjoyed a renaissance season last year coming off the bench for the first time in his career, finishing second in the league's Sixth Man of the Year voting and helping the Cavaliers to the play-in tournament. After starting this season in a similar role, he’s recently fallen out of the rotation and hasn’t appeared in the last 12 games despite being healthy and available.
Love was part of the Cavaliers’ “Big 3” which formed in the summer of 2015, alongside LeBron James and Kyrie Irving. James joined as a free agent, Irving was a recent Cavaliers draft pick, and Love was traded to the team from the Minnesota Timberwolves in exchange for their newly selected number one overall pick, Andrew Wiggins, who went on to become a core member of the Warriors' championship club last season.
With Love’s departure, the only player who remains on the Cavaliers’ roster from any of the teams who played the Warriors in the Finals, is Cedi Osman, who played only eight minutes during the 2018 Finals, the last of the four straight championship matchups between the two rivals.
