Kevin Love Says He ’Never Thought I’d Be a Math Problem’ After Getting Traded

Kevin Love had the perfect response after being traded to the Utah Jazz on Monday.

"Never thought I'd be a math problem," he joked on social media. "Welcome to the NBA."

As reported by ESPN's Shams Charania, the Clippers, Jazz, and Heat agreed to a trade that sends Norman Powell to the Heat, Josh Collins to the Clippers, and Love, Kyle Anderson, and a second-round pick to the Jazz.

Love, who has become something of a comedy fixture on Instagram, also posted a clip from Joe Dirt featuring David Spade and Kid Rock.

Love is set to enter his 18th season in the NBA later this year. He didn't play for the Miami Heat a lot this past season, appearing in just 23 games, but he indicated that he's not looking to retire anytime soon. As Associated Press reporter Tim Reynolds shared in April, Love "made clear that he is coming back next season," even if he didn't know at the time his next season wouldn't be in Miami.
