The Miami Heat trading for Norman Powell this summer was immediately seen as a solid move, especially considering they didn’t have to give up much to get him on board. But now, as the season has gone on, the deal has looked more and more like an absolute win for the Heat and a pretty bad loss for the LA Clippers.
Powell has helped the Heat exceed the expectations set for them heading into the year, especially considering they have been without Tyler Herro for most of it. Meanwhile, John Collins hasn’t been great in LA, and they’ve been one of the worst teams in the West.
