Kevin Love signs with Heat after Cavs buyout, clearing waivers

Kevin Love wasted no time. He's officially a member of the Miami Heat.

The five-time All-Star and 15-year NBA veteran cleared waivers on Monday afternoon, then signed a contract to join the Heat for the remainder of the season not long afterward. The now-former Cleveland Cavaliers forward was in Miami for the signing, with plans to start working out at his new team facility right away.
