Loew's Battle For Heat Has The Best Chance Of Being Extended

NBA player Kevin Love, who reached a buyout agreement with the Cavaliers, is also attracting attention. The Warriors, Heat, Lakers, Pioneers and SUNS are all interested in signing him. But according to two authoritative reporters, the Heat are leading the race for Loew.

The Athletic's well-known reporter Shams Charania revealed that in the battle for Love, the Heat is in the lead. The main reason is that the Heat can provide him with a clear role and a playoff berth.

ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski followed up with a report, saying he had a tip that the Heat did have the lead, but Love planned to meet with the 76ers before making a decision.

The 76ers currently have a full roster and can only offer a veteran base salary of less than $600,000, while the Heat have a partial middle class exception of $3.2 million, $4.8 million shy of the luxury tax threshold, and free up player space by trading Dewayne Dedmon.
