“Kevin Love stole $120 million from Cleveland Cavaliers”: Collin Sexton causes uproar after liking a tweet with this statement
Collin Sexton has had a pretty good run as a likeable player in NBA fans’ eyes. But that run may have been put paid to with his like on a Kevin Love post.
Collin Sexton has been fighting what seems like a lone ranger’s battle for the Cavs. He started the season off in rude form, but it has dropped off just like the Cavs of late. Sexton and his Cavs are practically out of the picture for the play-in game.
Sexton’s personal stats – shooting splits and box scores – have themselves been affected. He looked like a fringe All-Star earlier in the season, but that bit is now out of the window.
He’s also in hot water because of the latest slip of his social media fingers, which people have taken note of.
Collin Sexton flamed for liking hate post on Kevin Love
Kevin Love returned to action for all of 2 minutes in the Cavs’ game against Atlanta on Sunday. Many people suggest that he went back to his locker room with the fear that he’d reinjure his right calf.
Love is one of the worst negative assets in the league today. Andre Drummond is a max contract player on some nights, but it is doubtful whether Love will ever be back at that level even on a ruddy good team.

Collin Sexton is the major ray of hope for the Cavs at this point. He needs to be developing into a leader, but the young’n was spotted liking the above tweet.
Sexton has revealed in the past that he doesn’t run his social media accounts – his brother does. Perhaps this was his brother venting his frustration at yet another L for the Cavs.
You have to feel for both Sexton and Love in this situation. It would be a huge stretch to say that Love is enjoying his experience, but you can’t really blame Sexton for wanting to be rid of a teammate who’s provided the lowest return for his contract value among every NBA player for the past few years.

![Klay Thompson will end his time with the Golden State Warriors which brought him a shower of NBA titles and All-Star appearances to join the Dallas Mavericks, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN. Klay signing with another team besides the Dubs has raised questions as to why the veteran sharpshooter would leave his forever home and try winning somewhere else, given that Curry and Draymond still have a championship run left in the tank. Well, it appears to be a matter of respect for Klay and not money, as the former Warriors player accepted a financially inferior contract to play three years with the Mavericks. Appearing on Gil's Arena, Kenyon Martin pointed out how the Warriors paying Green his $100 million contract, and lowballing Klay only a season later is downright disrespectful, highlighting it as the cause of Thompson's departure from GSW. The 46-year-old further pointed to the fact that Klay has had a better stat line, greater impact on winning, and played more consistently than Green through the years, and still got offered a worse contract, something that definitely rubbed Klay the wrong way. Talking about his opinion further, Martin said, "You paid Draymond [Green]...I'm a bucket, I've averaged more points than him, we don't do none of this without me...And this is the thanks I get? It's a slap in the face." But Martin's interpretation of loyalty and respect seems to conflict with NFL veteran, Shannon Sharpe's interpretation of the whole situation. The former NFL tight end believes that Klay got what he deserved, and the Warriors didn't low-ball him. The 56-year-old further added that in a contract year, players are expected to show out and prove their worth. But Thompson did the opposite, as the 34-year-old posted the second-worst statistical season of his career. Airing out his opinion further, Sharpe said, "If you go back and look at it, Jordan Poole had a career year when his contract was up, they paid him. Draymond played well, they paid him. Stephen A. said last week, This is statistically Klay’s worst year.’ It happened to be in a contract year. They didn’t wrong him.” Unlike his NBA counterpart, Sharpe seems to think that Klay got paid for his legacy when the Warriors paid him $190 million over 5-years back in 2019. It's important to note that Thompson signed that contract just weeks after blowing out his ACL, and still was offered the second-largest contract in franchise history. Another NBA veteran, Richard Jefferson, also seems to be siding with his league mate, calling out the Dubs front office for their disrespect of Klay. Richard Jefferson reveals how Thompson has been demanding a better contract since X'Mas last year After the news of Thompson's signing to the Mavericks finally went official, Richard Jefferson appeared on ESPN's daily show, 'NBA Today' to call out the Warriors for fumbling the bag, and not paying Thompson his due respect and money. During his rant, the former Warriors forward highlighted an incident between him and Thompson to further point out how the contract issues between Thompson and the Warriors had been lingering for over a year. Recalling the incident, Thompson said, " This was on Christmas Day. I get off the elevator, and I see Klay, and I'm like, 'Klay, what's up?' I'm like, 'Hey man, keep your mentals right.' He's like, 'Man, tell them to pay me my money...This was on Christmas Day. On Christmas Day, a guy that had won four Championships. I don't give a damn what anybody says how much money they gave him over the years because he turned their franchise around." As far as perfect situations go, the whole Klay-Warriors scenario is less than ideal. Not only do the Dubs lose out on a bona fide franchise legend and one of the best shooters to ever play the game, but Klay also needs to adjust to life in a new team, a new city, and with new teammates and coaching scenarios. He will, of course, hope that all works out well, but if it doesn't we may see a Klay that regrets his decision to leave the Warriors.](https://thesportsrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/e368aa5e-untitled-design-2024-07-03t092652.398-300x300.jpg)
