Kevin Love finished a buyout with the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday, ending his long-term tenure with the team, where he made history, winning a memorable championship in 2016. The power forward has had a very good career, but now he’s done with the Cavs and set to join a new team.
Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports that the player is set to sign with the Miami Heat once he clears waivers. This was expected to happen after the Heat became leaders to sign Love in the buyout market.

After clearing waivers, Kevin Love plans to sign with the Miami Heat, his agent Jeff Schwartz of @Excelbasketball tells ESPN.
This is a big move for the Heat, who have struggled this season after posting the best record in the East last year. Adding a piece like Love could help them return to a decent level and see if they can compete for a top-6 spot.
Miami Heat Interested In Russell Westbrook
Now that they have secured Love’s signing, the Heat could focus all their attention on signing Russell Westbrook, another player of interest to them. However, things wouldn’t go as smoothly as the Heat would want since they have reportedly received concerning feedback about Russ.
This is a complex situation for the team, who could create a solid team to compete in the East with Westbrook and Love. Things could get really well for the Heat, but perhaps this info could work against Westbrook. As of now, the Heat plan to sign veteran center Cody Zeller to improve their roster.
Miami currently ranks 7th in the conference standings with a 32-27 record. They have shown different things now, but they know it’s not enough to compete with the top dogs in the East. Time will tell how this situation unfolds, but the Heat are trying to bolster their squad in the buyout market and free agency.
