Kevin Love's relationship with the Cleveland Cavaliers front office is currently strained, sources told Chris Fedor of cleveland.com.

Love was yanked from the Cavs rotation in the lead up to his buyout request last week, with the forward eventually signing with the Heat.

The Cavs were growing uneasy with Love's growing unhappiness while sitting on the bench and were willing to buy him out to prevent a potential blowout. 

J.B Bickerstaff said he reached out to Love after the buyout, though has yet to hear back.
