Miami Heat "closes a single" old general Kevin Love, Cleveland Cavaliers hangs a shirt of gratitude
Having just broken up with the old team, Kevin Love has found a new destination for himself. After agreeing to end his contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday, Love will sign with the Miami Heat for the remainder of the season.
This information was confirmed by Kevin's representative with reputable news sites, including ESPN and The Athletic. Before "closing the application" with Miami, Love negotiated with the Philadelphia 76ers but failed to reach an agreement.
Landing on the Florida team, Kevin Love believes that he will give himself an important role when in the squad, and will have the opportunity to go deep in the Playoffs.
Defense skills and three-and-D throws with impressive bodybuilding are the great value that bigman born in 1988 brings. Throughout her career, Love has thrown far with a 37% success rate of 3PT.
The move closes Kevin Love's 9-year relationship with the Cleveland Cavaliers, lasting from 2014 to 2023 and experiencing a lot of ups and downs together.
Besides LeBron James and Kyrie Irving, Love is an indispensable nucleus to bring the Cavaliers into 4 consecutive NBA Finals series (from 2015 to 2018), winning the 2016 championship.
While many names come and go, Kevin Love is still the one to stay. But when the direction of development no longer put Love in the same vision as the Cleveland team, the two decided to go their separate ways.
Statistics show that Love is the 6th player in the team's history in terms of rebounds and 9th in total points scored over nearly a decade of playing.
Because of his contributions to the team, the Cleveland Cavaliers plan to honor Kevin Love by re-hanging his number zero shirt in the future.
Even at 34, Love still has the ability to make a positive impact on a Miami Heat team struggling to find stability.
The team is currently seventh in the Eastern rankings, a position enough to participate in the play-in round if the season ends today. However, they are only one game behind the Knicks for 6th place, so there is still time for them to move up the rankings.
K-Love alone won't be able to make a big change in gameplay immediately, but his arrival will bring positive signals to this NBA finalist team in 2020.
