Kevin Love said he will suit up for the Cleveland Cavaliers next season.

Love is recovering from a shoulder injury that required season-ending surgery.

"I truly expect to be suiting up for Game 1," Love said.

Love can opt out of his contract for the 2015-16 season.

Brian Shaw attended the Golden State Warriors' practice on Saturday and would be interested in joining the team as an associate head coach.

Alvin Gentry will leave the current position to take the head coaching job of the New Orleans Pelicans.

Shaw was fired by the Denver Nuggets this season.

Shaw is an Oakland native and his family moved back to their Oakland Hills home on Saturday.

The New York Knicks Knicks have been enamored with Trey Lyles for months, according to a team source.

Lyles is a 6-foot-10 forward out of Indianapolis and played at Kentucky.

Phil Jackson sees Lyles as a good fit for the triangle offense.

LeBron James admitted that a major reason he returned to the Cleveland Cavaliers last offseason was due to the future of Kyrie Irving.

Irving signed a maximum contract extension early in free agency last summer.

"Part of the reason I decided to come back from the beginning was how special he was. I noticed that," James said. "To see him grow and see him learn what it means to truly be a professional every day since I've been here is a been a huge reward and it's great to see it. To see his mind process so many different things over the course of these months and be able to translate that not only on the court but off it as well, has been a treat to watch."

Thabo Sefolosha discussed the physical and mental toll that his leg fracture had, stemming from the incident with the NYPD.

"I was injured in the hands of the police, and it took away a lot from my everyday life," Sefolosha said. "From being able to help put the kids in bed, going up and down the stairs.

"We are talking about the stress that it has brought to the entire family, you know, my mom and dad in Switzerland, my brothers and sisters, my wife. Also, the damage to my reputation. I've had people texting me about what they saw in the newspaper and things like this. Every aspect of my life was affected by something like this, and I think putting light on the aftermath of something like this, I think that's also something that's important."

Sefolosha had gone out in New York to celebrate a 60-win season with a teammate.

"That night we had quite a bit to celebrate," he said. "We had secured the first spot in the Eastern Conference. And I like New York. It's a city I enjoy. I have friends there. So me and one of my teammates decided to go out and have a good time in the city.

"I'm looking forward for the truth to come out and for me being able to speak on it, but right now I think it's not the right time to do it."

Patrick Beverley has been able to already see Chandler Parsons' recruiting first hand as he enters free agency in July.

“I hear from Chandler every day,” Beverley said. “It’s hard, but I try not to think about it. I can’t talk about contracts. It’s going to be a fun summer. I have put myself in a position to be set for life and that’s something that I never thought was possible growing up.”

Beverley will be a restricted free agent, giving the Rockets the ability to match any offer sheet.

“This is the only team in the league — I am very loyal — only team in the league that really took a chance on me,” Beverley said. “At the end of the day, I understand it’s a business.”

Andrew Bogut had a conversation with Bob Myers in 2013 about the possibility of signing Matthew Dellavedova after the guard went unselected in the draft.

"I was trying to get him (Dellavedova) here actually, but we didn't have a roster spot at the time," Bogut said.

"We had Nedovic and he was in the point guard spot for us. I was trying to tell Bob to get him (Dellavedova) in."

Both Australians will face off in the 2015 NBA Finals this season with the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers.

Alvin Gentry and the New Orelans Pelicans have agreed upon a deal for him to become their next head coach. 

Gentry will assume his duties with the Pelicans after the Finals as he is currently assistant coach of the Golden State Warriors. 

Gentry replaces Monty Williams as head coach. 

Gentry has developed a reputation as one of the league' better coaches on offense. The Pelicans were a better team on offense than defense during the 14-15 season, but many believed the talent of Anthony Davis on offense was not being fully maximalized. 

The Chicago Bulls and Fred Hoiberg reportedly already have a deal in place, according to a source.

The deal is believed to be worth in the range of $25 million over five years.

Hoiberg, who recently needed a second heart surgery, is merely waiting to be cleared by doctors before officially accepting the job.

The Memphis Grizzlies have explored center Greg Oden, expressing interest in the recent past with a workout in the spring, and will potentially bring in the former No. 1 overall NBA pick to a free-agent camp in June, league sources told RealGM.

Oden, the first overall selection to the Portland Trail Blazers in 2007, played with the Miami Heat last season. He scored 67 points and grabbed 54 rebounds in 23 games.

The Grizzlies’ current level of interest in Oden remains unclear, but the franchise is believed to be having a free-agent mini-camp in the upcoming weeks -- like many organizations around the NBA. Oden is undecided in his possible participation there.

Oden's close friend and former teammate, Mike Conley, spoke late this season about the possibility of the seven-footer's comeback. Surely, Oden’s comfort level with the Grizzlies rises with Conley’s stature on the team.

In averaging 15.7 points and 9.6 rebounds, Oden led Ohio State to the NCAA championship game in 2007 and had the base of a foundational player at the NBA level. Nevertheless, knee injuries provided constant setbacks.

Oden, 27, has played two NBA seasons for Portland and one for Miami.
