"Bill Simmons admits that the Miami Heat made one of the best moves of the offseason, and says that the decision to essentially swap out Norman Powell for John Collins (and eventually Bradley Beal) has been unspeakably bad for the LA Clippers. For Simmons specifically, the move goes from bad to worse, considering it's helping power the Heat back into semi-relevancy in the Eastern Conference this season."
"With the Heat, Powell is fueling the highest-scoring offense in the NBA. Miami leads the league in points per game and is about to welcome back All-Star guard Tyler Herro into the rotation. There's a very good chance that, despite the encouraging signs that the Heat have already shown so far this season, their best is yet to come. Norman Powell has changed the Heat's narrative"
"And while the return of Herro plays a big part in that, it's difficult to minimize how much Powell has completely revolutionized this Heat offense. Many are underestimating the impact that Powell has made on the Heat. He's fit perfectly into Spo's high-octane offense, and has been the team's most efficient and best scorer when he's on the floor. Miami is 9-4 when Powell is in the lineup, and 1-2 when he's not."
The Miami Heat improved significantly after acquiring Norman Powell in the offseason, with the move proving one of the most impactful transactions. The LA Clippers' decision to swap Powell for John Collins (and later pursue Bradley Beal) weakened their roster. Powell has fueled Miami's highest-scoring offense, leading the league in points per game while fitting seamlessly into Erik Spoelstra's high-octane system. Powell has been the team's most efficient scorer, and Miami is 9-4 with him in the lineup and 1-2 without him. The impending return of All-Star guard Tyler Herro could further elevate the team's ceiling this season.
