Miami Heat legend Re-Signs a Two-Year , $30 Million+ Contract
South Beach is going to see Kevin Love again!
According to a Sunday report from The Athletic and Stadium’s Shams Charania, the Miami Heat and veteran player Kevin Love have agreed on a two-year agreement, bringing the 35-year-old back to the 3-0-5 and the NBA at that.
With no options, the contract is valued at more than $30 million. (RELATED: 76ers Emerge As Front-Runners To Sign Paul George, George Notifies Clippers He Won’t Be Re-Signing: REPORT)
Love decided not to use his $4 million player option over the weekend, but he and Miami still intended to complete the task of negotiating a new contract.
Love averaged 8.8 points and 6.1 rebounds per game while shooting 34.4% from three points for the Heat in 55 games during the 2023–24 season. September marks Love’s 36th birthday.
Love has played in 16 NBA seasons, winning a championship in 2016. He has been selected as an All-Star five times and twice to the All-NBA Second Team. He has played for the Heat, the Minnesota Timberwolves, and the Cleveland Cavaliers, with whom he assisted in their 2023 NBA Finals appearance.
As I mentioned in my tweet, I’m glad to see Kevin Love rejoining the Miami Heat. He got along well with the roster and was productive for us the previous season.
What will we do, though, regarding the luxury tax?
Considering the past several offseasons, I won’t hold my breath waiting for Pat Riley to perform his magic.
