Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen didn’t hold back his funny side when discussing the recent buyout of his former teammate Kevin Love.
After Love and the Cavs negotiated a buyout that cleared the way for Love to join the Miami Heat, Allen delivered an absolutely hilarious answer to just how aware he was of the situation as it was unfolding.
It seems that Allen joked that he facetiously heard Love was “going for milk and cigarettes,” and that “he just never came back.”
If there was such a thing as a perfect response to an interview question, we’re pretty sure this would be it.
#Cavs Jarrett Allen on whether he knew, when he left Philly the other night, that Kevin Love wanted a buyout: "I did not. I was told he was going for milk and cigarettes and he just never came back."

Since Allen certainly won’t be standing by the door at the Cleveland facility waiting for Love to come back, you’d guess that the Cavs probably had some idea that Love’s time with the team was coming to a close.
However, we’re sure Love and Allen will miss playing with each other. Maybe Love will bring back a carton of milk when the two see each other again. Just not cigarettes, those are bad for you.
