Love confirmed Sunday that he plans to sign a one-year contract with the Heat, Tim Reynolds of the Associated Press reports.
Love fell out of the Cavaliers' rotation in February and reached a buyout with Cleveland ahead of the All-Star break. The Heat were consistently mentioned as suitors for the veteran forward's services, so the fact that he plans on joining Miami doesn't come as a surprise. In Miami, Love figures to operate as a rotational piece behind Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo, and the expectation is that Love can play a sizable role for the Heat during a potential playoff push, per Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.
