Both on and off the floor, it’s pretty clear that the offseason acquisition of Norman Powell has completely changed everything for the Miami Heat. Powell gives the Heat a strong second option next to Tyler Herro (when he returns) and will offer plenty of off-court versatility if this season gets away from Miami.
In many ways, trading for Powell could end up being one of the best transactions in recent team history. Of course, that’s assuming they play what happens next correctly.
Norman Powell is a huge piece of the Heat's puzzle
Not only is Powell going to play an enormous role for the Heat with Herro expected to miss the first few weeks of the season, but (in a potential worst-case scenario) he can also emerge as a potentially strong trade deadline candidate for the team.
