No chance.

Love might be a good stopgap for depth, but I'd consider Plan #234 of 252. Honestly, I'd rather reserve the roster spot for a young player that needs minutes or a player dumped for a pick we'll need to hold for a while.
To be clear, I'm only thinking about investing in him at the minimum. I was wondering if he has enough juice left to be a backup next season.

There is no juice left. He a raisin.
He's probably a guy who can give you one good game out of every 10. He's probably worth rostering if you are a playoff team looking to fill the last spot with a good lockerroom vet and maybe you throw him out once in a while to see if he has it that night.
Or a young team with no depth and happy to have the vet presence/leadership. I don’t know if that’s the Jazz but it could be as a lot can happen between now and July.

Say the Jazz have interest in a player that played overseas or in the GLeague and is an unrestricted free agent. Can they sign him now or do they have to wait until July 1 when the new league year starts?
I dont see Love agreeing to join a team just to be a cheerleader for younger guys. Could be wrong and maybe he's just a guy who's content just sticking around anywhere, but I think he would want a chance on a playoff team where he might have a chance at possibly getting in a game (which checks out given he asked out of Cleveland when it became clear they had no intention of giving him those minutes anymore).
To be clear, I don’t think he goes to a young team if he doesn’t think he’ll play.
I’m still not totally out on Lonzo depending on the deal.
If the Jazz really are eyeing a tankish scenario then that is the move to make. I think Lonzo/his people/the Bulls have been overthinking the obvious course of action but that they have all finally arrived at it: replace the missing meniscus with a cadaver’s since that tissue basically just doesn’t heal. Recovery time is still just way to long for a team that’s trying to win now or perhaps have already missed their window entirely, but I think it might work in the long run.
