"The Miami Heat may have to make a consolidation-type trade at the deadine if they plan to re-sign Norman Powell. And with the way he's played so far this season, I can't imagine a world in which the Heat doesn't look to sign him to an extension during the summer. That could be much easier said than done. With big money already promised to Bam Adebayo, Tyler Herro, and Andrew Wiggins (player option) next season,"
"Through the first 20-plus games of the season, there's an argument to be made that Powell has been the Heat's most important offensive player, averaging 24 points and four rebounds per game on 49 percent shooting from the field and 43 percent shooting from 3-point range. In theory, that's not a player who "sell" after just one season. Heat are juggling many possibilities heading into the NBA Trade Deadline"
Miami faces a salary-cap squeeze that may force a consolidation-style trade at the deadline to re-sign Norman Powell. Big guaranteed money owed to Bam Adebayo, Tyler Herro, and Andrew Wiggins (player option) next season leaves little wiggle room, while Nikola Jovic and Jaime Jaquez Jr. both loom as potential expensive extensions. Powell has been highly productive, averaging about 24 points and four rebounds per game on efficient shooting, making him difficult to replace. The Heat must balance creating cap space, avoiding excessive luxury-tax exposure, and exploring trade options including high-profile targets.
