Not the Lakers or the Clippers! The only possible next player for the Heat s veteran inside is the Knicks?

American media Bleacher Report reporter Jake Fischer talked about the latest updates about Kevin Love, who is currently in free agency. Fischer wrote: After being bought out by the Utah Jazz, Love tends to join a team in the big market. He mentioned New York and Los Angeles as his potential destination for next season. According to previous news, the Miami Heat sent Love to the Jazz in a tripartite deal involving Norman Powell and John Collins. Because it was inconsistent with the team's long-term development, Love was quickly cut by the Jazz.

In the NBA regular season last season, Love played 23 times for the Heat, averaging 10.9 minutes per game, with averaging 5.3 points, 4.1 rebounds, 1 assist, 0.7 steals and 0.2 blocks, and 0.6 turnovers and 0.9 fouls. His shooting percentage was 35.7%, a three-point shooting percentage of 35.8%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 69.6%. In the playoffs, Love didn't even get a chance to play, which also shows that his performance is very disappointing, and the team's coaching staff is already very worried about his ability.

Love's performance last season was indeed very unsatisfactory. His scoring ability is no longer as good as before. His offensive efficiency is also very average, and his stability outside the three-point line is also relatively limited. Not only that, his performance on the defensive end is also very bad, and his deterioration in movement speed and athletic ability is also visible to the naked eye. He originally had obvious shortcomings in this area. As he grew older, his problems in this area were further exposed. Love could also provide support for rebounding protection, but now his role in this area has begun to decline. As a No. 4 player, Love's movement speed and athletic ability are seriously insufficient. As a No. 5 player, his ability to protect the basket is not ideal.

Since Love has reversed the two cities of New York and Los Angeles, the situation is more obvious. His next home is the New York Knicks, the Los Angeles Lakers and the Los Angeles Clippers. Judging from the current lineup and salary situation of these teams, the Lakers have been hit hard by the No. 1 rich man and have no salary space. The Clippers' situation is almost the same as those of the Lakers. Unless the Lakers and the Clippers can quickly make room, signing Love is impossible. Currently, the Knicks' lineup includes 12 players, and the team still has 3 quotas and has not been used. Moreover, they are still a few million away from the second rich line. In other words, among these three teams, the only one who can offer Love's contract is the Knicks.
