The Miami Heat are trading Kevin Love to the Utah Jazz, and as expected, the NBA veteran had a funny reaction to the trade.

Love, who has one year left on his contract, took to social media after getting traded from the Heat to the Jazz.

Never thought I’d be a math problem. Welcome to the NBA.

Love will make $4,150,000 next season in the final year of his contract. The 2016 NBA champion averaged 5.3 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.0 assists for the Heat last season while shooting 35.7% from the field, 35.8% from beyond the arc and 69.6% from the free-throw line.

A five-time All-Star, Love is not expected to remain with the Jazz. He will get bought out and become an unrestricted free agent.

Love, 36, has played for the Minnesota Timberwolves, Cleveland Cavaliers and Heat. The UCLA product has career averages of 16.2 points, 10.0 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 952 NBA games.

Love helped the Cavaliers win the 2016 championship against the 73-9 Golden State Warriors. He will probably get linked to the Los Angeles Lakers since NBA legend LeBron James is there.
