Kevin Love, a seasoned veteran with the Miami Heat, has been traded to the Utah Jazz as part of a three-team deal. The 36-year-old forward, who played a key role in the Heat’s 2023 NBA Finals run, averaged 5.3 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 1.0 assists per game in the 2024-25 season. Love shot 35.7% from the field and 35.8% from three-point range across 23 games.
In this trade, the Miami Heat acquired Norman Powell from the Los Angeles Clippers, while the Utah Jazz received Love, Kyle Anderson, and a 2027 second-round pick.
John Collins was traded to the Clippers. This deal reshapes both teams’ depth charts, adding Powell’s shooting and defensive ability to the Heat, while the Clippers welcome Collins to bolster their roster.
Norman Powell, who has been a significant contributor to the Clippers, is under contract for the upcoming season, offering additional depth for the Heat. His move further shifts the Clippers’ depth chart, impacting their roster dynamics.

Following the trade, Love posted on X (formerly Twitter), humorously saying, “Never thought I’d be a math problem. Welcome to the NBA,” earning over 58,000 likes in just seven hours.
While Love is a future Hall of Famer, his fit with the rebuilding Utah Jazz is unclear. With only $4.15 million remaining on his contract, Love is expected to be a buyout candidate. The move could lead him to another team, potentially continuing his NBA journey elsewhere.
