"The Heat may try to trade Norman Powell or Andrew Wiggins for a first With Powell's situation, he's obviously continued to elevate when it comes to his on-court production. We all thought he was underrated with the Clippers, and now he's just continued to produce with more freedom in Miami's dynamic offensive system. The issue with Norm has nothing to do with his production or whether he can affect winning basketball enough to be part of the Heat's long-term core."
"Since they're now without their 2027 first-round pick, it would make sense if the Heat wanted to make up for that situation. But even so, giving up Norman Powell or Andrew Wiggins would have to be done with extreme caution and only after evaluating all options thoroughly. Both have been excellent in a Heat uniform this season, and parting with them too lightly would represent a missed opportunity since they'll both be relatively sought after by teams around the league."
The 2026 NBA trade deadline arrives in under two weeks as the Heat weigh potential roster moves. Miami lacks its 2027 first-round pick due to the Terry Rozier deal and may seek to acquire a replacement pick at the deadline. Norman Powell and Andrew Wiggins are identified as roster members who could realistically fetch a first-rounder. Both players have performed very well for Miami this season, making any trade a significant decision. Powell's contract situation and potential All-Star candidacy increase his trade value and complexity. Trades would require careful evaluation given both players' current production and league interest.
