The Miami Heat have shown interest in Love too, and they appear to be winning this race for the veteran player. KL can still provide to a team, and it seems like the Heat have already identified a new role for him.

This is a big advantage for the Heat, who are still trying to acquire pieces that improve their level. Miami has struggled a lot this season, unable to repeat the performances they had last season when they even made it to the 7th game of the Eastern Conference Finals.
They didn’t have an entertaining trade deadline, but the Heat are now ready to add some pieces from the buyout market. Added to Love, they could land Russell Westbrook, creating a solid team once again, as they try to compete with the top squads in the East this season.
