Interested teams believe Miami's ability to offer a defined role and playoff positioning are leading factors, an NBA insider adds.
Love has spent the last nine seasons of his 15-year NBA career with the Cavaliers, being part of Cleveland's 2016 championship team and making consecutive All-Star teams in 2017 and 2018.
He is the last man standing of the 2016 championship squad.
