The Miami Heat are in a place right now that is pretty weird when you think about it. While they don’t have a ton of cap space to work with and hardly any resources or assets, no draft picks and a Tyler Herro to potentially move, they aren’t all that bad off.

With a creative set of people doing that work for them, Pat Riley, Andy Elisburg, and the lot, the Miami Heat have routinely been known to pull off the impossible out of thin air, it seems. They might not even have to do that with this next one though.

The topic at hand today is a guy that hasn’t really been right over the past couple of seasons. Held to just 222 of 383 possible games over the past five seasons, when you incorporate the regular 82 from three of those seasons, the 65 from the Bubble Season, and the 72 game schedule from this past season, Kevin Love has only played in practically only about half the games.

Whether that be for injury, maintenance, or other nefarious reasons, organizationally, those are the facts. You then also have a piece of news from Cleveland.com that makes things that much more interesting.
