"Miami only had to give up Kevin Love and Kyle Anderson in order to get back Powell from the Los Angeles Clippers. They sent Love and Anderson to the Utah Jazz in a three-team deal that saw the Clippers end up with John Collins, and the Jazz receive the Heat's two players along with a 2027 second-round pick from LA."
"When you really look at the ramifications of the Heat giving up the two players they dealt, it's an extremely small price to pay in the grand scheme of things. Neither Love nor Anderson were seen as long-term staples on this roster, and it wasn't like either guy was seen as having high value on the trade market. Powell comes in as one of the best all-around scoring guards in the association,"
Miami reacquired Norman Powell in a three-team deal by sending Kevin Love and Kyle Anderson to Utah, with Los Angeles landing John Collins and Utah receiving the two players plus a 2027 second-round pick. Powell averaged 21.8 points on 48/41/80 shooting splits last season and finished arguably his best professional year. Love and Anderson were not considered long-term fixtures or high-value trade assets for Miami. The swap delivers an established, hyper-efficient scoring guard to Miami for minimal cost. The move strengthens Miami's scoring depth and represents a lopsided offseason win in the Heat's favor.
