As we told you earlier this afternoon, Kevin Loveis going to opt out of his current contract and become a free agent this summer. And while that doesn't necessarily mean he's going to leave the Cavaliers, it does mean that he's going to be free to test the waters and talk to other teams. He's already got at least one team that's interested in speaking with him, too:

Sources: If Kevin Love goes forward with visits in July, expect Boston to sell him on pursuing group of Love, Robin Lopez and...Paul Pierce.

It doesn't sound like LeBron James is going to spend much time talking to Love about his future, though. According to Cleveland Plain Dealer reporter Chris Haynes, LeBron isn't going to do any "re-recruiting" of Love this summer:

LeBron James won't be re-recruiting Kevin Love, I'm told. He believes Love understands he can be a part of something special. It's his call.

We don't think LeBron necessarily needs to beg Love to come back, but doesn't this seem like the wrong approach for him to take?
