The Miami Heat clearly hit the jackpot when they plucked Norman Powell away from the Los Angeles Clippers in a three-team trade that inexplicably only cost them Kyle Anderson and Kevin Love. It was, perhaps objectively, the single biggest steal of the 2025 NBA offseason.
The deal has already increased in value, too, since Powell, who had a near-All-Star breakout last season, just so happens to be the perfect injury replacement for Tyler Herro, who authored a full-fledged All-Star emergence in 2024-25. Powell, who turned 32 in May, isn't even convinced he has shown his best form yet.
