As I said in my tweet… I'm happy to have Kevin Love back with the Miami Heat. He played well for the team last season and got along well with the guys.
But what are you going to do about the luxury tax?
Let's see if Pat Riley can work some magic, but judging by the last few offseasons, I'm not going to wait around hoping.
