Lowball Heat trade should seriously concern Pistons in Jaden Ivey negotiations

The Miami Heat traded Kevin Love, Kyle Anderson and a second-round pick to get Norman Powell, setting a depressing market for two guards that the Detroit Pistons should note as they negotiate an extension with Jaden Ivey.

The trade was discussed on a recent episode of The Hoop Collective, as Brian Windhorst, Tim Bontemps and Tim MacMahon broke down the Heat’s offseason.

Powell was fresh off the best season of his career, averaging 21.8 points per game on elite shooting, splits, yet there wasn’t much of a market for him according to the hosts, which is how the Heat got him for practically nothing.
