Kevin Love said Tuesday that he plans to forgo free agency in 2015 and opt into his player option with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

"I think that we will figure it out here, so I don't plan on opting out or any of that," Love said. "I plan on being here. As far as leaving my options open, I mean sure, it's always there. At the end of the day, it's always good to have something but no, I plan on being here."

By picking up his $16.7 million option, Love would be eligible to sign a new contract just in time to tap into the expected spike in television revenue before the 2016-17 season.

"I've said all along that I plan on being a Cavalier long-term," Love said. "As we continue to evolve, my role will continue to evolve. It's still a process where I'm figuring it out.

"We'll eventually figure it out. I think for the whole team, it's not what we expected, but I think once we get back to a full lineup things will be different."

Many executives anticipated Love would test free agency this summer.
