- Kevin Love admitted that there are challenges on the Heat due to Damian Lillard trade rumors
- The big man noted that “the unknown” in life can be scary
- Love is trying to use his veteran leadership to help his teammates
The Miami Heat have been linked to a number of players this past summer, most notably Damian Lillard. However, as of right now, a trade has not yet materialized, even as the season draws closer.
As of right now, there is some uncertainty with the Miami Heat, as if they execute the Damian Lillard trade, the roster could look very different at the start of the season. Recently, Kevin Love opened up on that uncertainty when speaking to Anthony Chiang of The Miami Herald, noting that his goal is to “get the best” out of his teammates no matter what happens in that regard.
“There certainly are challenges because I think in life the unknown is scary or misleading and something that can rub people the wrong way. But I think part of being a veteran and my role as one of the leaders or somebody who has some influence, the relationships with my teammates and understanding who might be coming and who might be going. Finding that common ground and seeing how I can get the best out of them and understanding the fluidity of a season, understanding that things can change so fast in a season and in this business.”
It remains to be seen if the Miami Heat do in fact manage to trade for Damian Lillard. He would certainly help them on the offensive side of the ball, as he is a superstar point guard who averaged 32.2 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 7.3 assists per game.
With that being said, it is quite possible that no trade will happen. That is why the presence of Kevin Love on the roster is important, as he can keep everyone even-keeled no matter the situation.
Kevin Love Re-Signed With The Miami Heat
Kevin Love stayed with the Miami Heat on a two-year, $7.86 million contract this summer. Recently, Kevin Love explained why he remained with the Miami Heat in free agency, noting that he was comfortable with the organization.
“I think just weighing all the options and understanding my comfort with the team and the organization as time progressed. I think it just continued to get better… Just being around the locker room, whether it be pregame or postgame, at practice, I felt like I could make a major impact there in helping bring us together.”
Hopefully, Kevin Love can make a big impact on the Miami Heat next season. Though he will likely play a limited role with the team, he is a veteran with championship experience who can likely be a solid role player who can be a solid frontcourt fit with Bam Adebayo.
Damian Lillard Will Not Report To Training Camp If Traded Anywhere But The Miami Heat
There is no doubt that, as of right now, Damian Lillard only wants to join the Miami Heat. In fact, a previous report revealed that Damian Lillard will not report to training camp if moved to any other team but the Miami Heat.
It is clear that Damian Lillard is trying to force the Portland Trail Blazers to move him to the destination of his choice. The team has refused to do so thus far, and it’s clear that this situation could continue to drag on all the way into the season.
