Could Kevin Love Be On The Miami Heat's Radar?

Former NBA All-Star Kevin Love is no longer the player he once was but may be the ideal target for the Miami Heat.

Love and the Cleveland Cavaliers have reportedly agreed to a buyout. The Heat are in need of any frontcourt help they can possibly attain.

The Cleveland Cavaliers and Kevin Love are finalizing a contract buyout, sources tell me and @ByJasonLloyd.

A 15-year veteran, Love is still a serviceable option for the Heat. Caleb Martin has played out of position at power forward all season, so Love would be the perfect complement to center Bam Adebayo.

Love is a five-time All-Star and won a championship with the Cavs in 2016. This season, he is arguably in the middle of the worst of his career. He was averaging a career-low 20 minutes and recently fell out of the rotation.

Love likely wants to play on a contender. Last year the Heat made the Eastern Conference finals but have struggled this season mainly because of injuries.
