In a clear expression of boiled-up frustration, Love threw a tantrum in the middle of their game against the Toronto Raptors last month.</p><p><a href="https://cavsnation.com/cavs-have-massive-kevin-love-problem/">It wasn’t received well</a> by many, including his teammates, who felt their veteran leader has given up on them. Love also ducked repeated questions by reporters following the controversial incident. It was bared, however, that he did apologize immediately to the Cavaliers.</p><p>But now, with a clearer mind, it appears Love is hoping to make up for his mistake. After leading the Cavaliers to an impressive 102-94 upset of the Boston Celtics on Wednesday, their last home game of the season, Love gave some pretty telling comments that he’s still committed to the squad (via <a href="https://espn.com/nba/recap?gameId=401307853">ESPN</a>).</p><blockquote>“I just wanted to win one at home before the season was over. “I didn’t want to come back in the locker room and feel angry. I didn’t want to feel that. Winning is definitely more fun.”</blockquote><p>While he didn’t directly address his past issue, his remarks surely implied he’s sorry. The 32-year-old NBA champion also proved it on the floor, finishing with game-highs of 30 points, including 6-fo-9 shooting from beyond the arc, and 14 rebounds.</p><p>Even though the Cavaliers are already out of the contention, Love’s performance would surely leave a positive effect in the locker room, especially since he helped the team to its first home win since April 21.</p><p>It’s no secret that Kevin Love has been dealing with mental health problems and it’s a good thing to see that his heart remains in the right place.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Despite proving how valuable he is for the Cleveland Cavaliers (he was a crucial piece for the Cavs’ 2016 title-winning campaign), it seems that he is perpetually on the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cavs-kevin-love-addresses-constant-trade-rumors/" target="_blank">trading block</a>.</p><p>Then again, it’s mostly out of necessity since the rebuilding Cavs are shifting to a youth movement and have an abundance of younger front court players that they need to free up playing time for. Although an argument could be made that a veteran winner is exactly the tutelage that roster needs right now.</p><p>Nonetheless, despite the lack of loyalty, Love still remains to be one of the highest-earning big men in the NBA. So just how much is he worth? That is the very question we intend to delve into today.</p><p>Let’s take a look at Kevin Love’s net worth in 2021.</p><h2><strong>Estimated net worth: $50 million</strong></h2><p><img alt="Kevin Love's net worth in 2021" class="aligncenter wp-image-791581 size-full" height="673" src="https://clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Kevin-Love_s-NBA-contracts.jpg" width="1200"></p><p><a href="https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-athletes/nba/kevin-love-net-worth/" target="_blank">Celebrity net worth</a> estimates Love’s net worth to be around $50 million as of 2021.</p><p>Love has been around for quite some time now, and as of writing, he is already in year 13 of his NBA tenure. Throughout that time, the 6-foot-8 forward/center has amassed quite a fortune in basketball earnings alone. Let’s break it down.</p><p>The Minnesota Timberwolves drafted the 20-year-old Love out of UCLA as the fifth overall pick in the 2008 draft. As soon as he got on board, the Wolves signed him on a substantial rookie-scale deal, amounting to $6.6 million for two years. Minnesota then exercised their team option on Love over the next couple of years, which earned him another $4.1 million per year.</p><p>In his third season, Love’s star skyrocketed, after not only earning his first All-Star nod, but also, winning the Most Improved Player of the Year award. By that time, he was already averaging <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/l/loveke01.html#all_per_game" target="_blank">20.2 points</a> and a league-leading 15.2 rebounds per game.</p><p>By the time his rookie deal approached its conclusion, it was without question that Love was in for a huge extension. This came out to the tune of a whopping $60.8 million for the next four years. Finally, Love was getting paid the money he deserved.</p><p>A couple of years later, Love was involved in a blockbuster three-team deal that sent him to the Cleveland Cavaliers to form the Cavaliers super team with LeBron James and Kyrie Irving. He established himself as a pivotal piece in Cleveland’s title chases, and he was handsomely rewarded with a huge extension in 2015. This locked him up with the Cavs for the next five years amounting to $113.2 million.</p><p>The Cavs memorably won the title in 2016, but it wasn’t long before the golden era came to an end. Irving left for the Boston Celtics the following year, and LeBron made a move to the Los Angeles Lakers the year after that. Cleveland was left with Love as their lone superstar, and by 2018, the front office decided to fully commit their future to him. They extended his deal once again for another four years for the sum of $120.4 million.</p><p>Love’s 2018 contract will end on 2023, and by then he would have already earned $266.7 million on NBA contracts. He will be 34 by then, so he should still be in store for at least one more deal.</p><p>Love currently has several endorsement deals, but it remains unclear just how much he is earning from the same on an annual basis. However, given how he has deals with Nike, State Farm, Upper Deck, Panini, Banana Republic, and Shock Doctor, it would be safe to say that this is another steady source of significant income for Love.</p><p>Kevin Love continues to receive some lucrative contracts as his play has remained somewhat stable. In 2021, he has been on quite a roller coaster ride with the Cavaliers and there have been a couple of outbursts that have led to speculation about his future and who he may end up with. Even if that future doesn’t include the Cavaliers, Love’s ride in Cleveland was a wildly successful one that featured the aforementioned NBA Championship that the Cavs won back in 2016.</p><p>Love might be able to squeeze out one more really solid contract, depending on who the suitors are next and what their cap space flexibility indicates. The odds that such a deal comes from the Cavaliers, given what has transpired this year and where the Cavaliers are at as a franchise seems relatively unlikely. Either way, the money making in the NBA isn’t done for Love.</p><p>And now you know Kevin Love’s net worth in 2021.</p><p>The post <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/kevin-loves-net-worth-in-2021/" rel="nofollow">Kevin Love’s net worth in 2021</a> appeared first on <a href="https://clutchpoints.com" rel="nofollow">ClutchPoints</a>.</p></div>    </body></html>

The Cavs big man <a href="https://cavsnation.com/cavs-news-kevin-love-shows-massive-frustration-horrible-turnover/" rel="noopener">recently had a temper tantrum during a game</a>, <a href="https://cavsnation.com/cavs-news-kevin-love-claims-hell-fin-rock-with-cleveland-in-passionate-13-minute-mea-culpa/" rel="noopener">apologized for said tantrum</a>, attempted zero shots in a game and admitted <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/blazers-news-cavs-kevin-love-would-love-play-with-damian-lillard-portland/" rel="noopener">to a desire to one day play</a> with Damian Lillard on the Portland Trail Blazers.</p><p>It was rather fitting, then, that this Love debacle hit a new low against Dame and the Blazers on Wednesday night. In a brutal 141-105 Cavs loss, Love was a <a href="https://twitter.com/statmuse/status/1390120342396366848" rel="noopener">minus-45</a> in 26 minutes of action. Needless to say, that’s historically bad:</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">He is only the 8th player since 1997 with a -45 +/- or worse in 26 minutes or less.</p><p>Full list: <a href="https://t.co/efAe4nQoeH" target="_blank">https://t.co/efAe4nQoeH</a></p><p>— StatMuse (@statmuse) <a href="https://twitter.com/statmuse/status/1390121499923677184?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">May 6, 2021</a></p></blockquote><p></p></figure><p>This is just yet another rough look for Kevin Love (At least he led the team with 18 points?), who seems like he would like to be anywhere else but Cleveland right now. It has been tough sledding for the Cavs ever since LeBron James left again in 2018, but Love stuck around and signed a four-year, $120 million extension.</p><p>The last few years have featured a lot of losing, injuries and frustration. There was also Love drama last season, and it doesn’t appear to be going away. It doesn’t help that his play has declined on the court, which only hurts Cleveland’s attempts to trade him and that massive contract.</p><p>The Cavs are playing out the string right now as one of the worst teams in the NBA yet again. It will be interesting to see what Cleveland does in the offseason when it comes to Kevin Love. If he’s not traded, would the Cavs buy him out before next season and avoid more of these issues?</p><p>Stay tuned.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Perhaps the Blazers would be willing to try to trade for Love in the near future, but his massive contract, declining play on the court and injury history would make things tricky.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/blazers-star-damian-lillard-just-planted-seeds-trade-request/" rel="noopener">It’s no secret</a> that Damian Lillard wants to play for a championship contender in Portland, and the franchise could use an upgrade in talent to make that happen. Love probably isn’t the guy to get them over the top at this point, though, so this could be something that happens when he’s much cheaper to sign.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Two days later, he’s still trying to make amends and explain himself.</p><blockquote>“My intent wasn’t to disrespect the game. My intent wasn’t even for the damn ball to go inbounds. It was a moment that I got caught up in. I didn’t even really understand what happened as the possession played out. I think I was a little dumbfounded. I even heard a couple of coaches saying the ball wasn’t in. My idea was that I was going to go grab the ball and pass it right back into D.G. (Darius Garland). But that obviously wasn’t the case.”</blockquote><p>Love said Wednesday that he didn’t realize how horrible the optics of the play were until Larry Nance Jr. showed him the clip after the game.</p><p>The Cavaliers (21-40) host the Orlando Magic (18-43) on Wednesday night.
