I don’t think anyone else is offering instant cap relief for Love. Those teams are either looking at free agency or not anywhere on Love’s timeline, so Cleveland can’t be picky (but they’ll pretend to be picky enough to weasel DL out of a first rounder). Absorbing Love into capspace kills us because we have other tweaks we need to make.
I don't think cap relief matters to the Cavs either as they're balls deep in a full on rebuild and so you may as well pay a guy like Love his money to reach your 90% of the cap and be able to be extra cautious with how you go about playing him/limiting his minutes/managing his load, etc. I don't think they're that desperate to get off Love's deal, and I also think the Cavs know they'll get more suitors for Love when he's got less years on his deal which would fit their timeline if they draft well and want to retool around young pieces.
