CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Kevin Love’s incredible summer isn’t all about touring the country, dressing like a cowboy, climbing mountains, riding horses and flying helicopters. It’s also about preparing for the 2019-20 season.
Love, who has taken a prominent leadership role during this post-LeBron James rebuild, is organizing a team minicamp in New York next week, league sources tell cleveland.com.
Love did the same last year, hosting teammates in Miami and carrying on a tradition that James started years back. It’s a way to gather the many new faces for a series of on-court workouts and plenty of team bonding ahead of training camp, which will officially open with media day on Sept. 30. Even though Love didn’t join the Cavaliers in Salt Lake City or Las Vegas during summer league, he has been in touch with new head coach John Beilein and various members of the staff, which shows his commitment to the organization.
Cedi Osman and Matthew Dellavedova, two players participating in the FIBA World Cup, will not be in New York, where Love resides during the off-season. The other members of the Cavs, including three first-round picks (Darius Garland, Kevin Porter Jr. and Dylan Windler), are expected to attend.
