"How the Miami Heat managed to pry Norman Powell away from the LA Clippers, for pennies on the dollar, still has to be confusing for everyone in the front office. It was head-scratching when it happened, and that sentiment has only grown even more through the first week of the season. That's because Powell has continued to be one of the best - and most efficient - scorers in the league."
"For the Heat, Powell has been the team's leading scorer through his first three games played. He missed Wednesday night's game against the Charlotte Hornets due to soreness, but there's no question he's emerged as a season-saver for the Heat with the absence of Tyler Herro. The fact that the Heat got Powell for two players who weren't in the Heat's rotation (Kyle Anderson and Kevin Love) is likely going to be remembered as the steal of the summer."
Miami acquired Norman Powell from the LA Clippers in a low-cost deal that yielded immediate scoring returns. Powell has been Miami's leading scorer through his first three games and provides efficient offense while Tyler Herro is sidelined. He missed one game with soreness but remains a season-saving contributor for the team. The Clippers moved Powell to save money and open a path to sign Bradley Beal, but Beal has struggled early and battled a back injury. Los Angeles is likely worse off without Powell, and Miami appears to have secured one of the summer's biggest steals.
