"With the regular season on the horizon, it's become abundantly clear that the Miami Heat made one of the biggest steals of the offseason by acquiring Norman Powell for basically nothing. Powell emerged as one of the most consistent players for the Heat this season and is primed for a huge year in Miami. That much was evident during his preseason stretch with the Heat. Averaging 16 points on 45 percent shooting from the field and 40 percent shooting from 3-point range during the preseason, it's pretty clear that the Heat are going to lean heavily on Powell without Tyler Herro to begin the season."
"Back in July, the Heat surprisingly acquired Powell from the LA Clippers in exchange for Kevin Love in a three-team trade. Essentially, Miami only had to part ways with Kevin Love and Kyle Anderson to get the deal done. At the time, it looked like a great deal for the Heat; it looks even better now. Of course, the big question for the Heat and Powell revolves around whether their futures will intersect with each other. In the final year of his contract, the Heat has to make a big decision on Powell's future relatively soon."
The Miami Heat acquired Norman Powell from the LA Clippers in July in a three-team trade that sent Kevin Love and Kyle Anderson elsewhere. Powell averaged 16 points on 45 percent shooting and 40 percent from three during the preseason, establishing himself as a consistent offensive option. The Heat appear likely to lean on Powell heavily to start the season with Tyler Herro unavailable. Powell enters the final year of his contract, and Miami must consider a potential extension while balancing Herro's concurrent contract status and extension timeline.
