I think he's going to stay but if they get swept and lay down for GS, that doesn't send the best message to me. Even if they lose this series, having been competitive, that might put the "what if" idea in Love's head and keep him around.
Dude.. Love isn't going anywhere. He'd be an idiot if he did, just for money reasons alone. The majority of the team will be back next year except for possibly Shump b/c he'll want more than the Cavs probably think he's worth. Nothing about how this series went will affect the team for next year. Next Year is when they should win. If they got swept, it would have been b/c they don't have 2 of the best players in the NBA playing. It wouldn't have sent any other message than that.
Love will be back, Kyrie will be back, and they'll be favorites in the finals next year.
