LAS VEGAS — In the wake of the Los Angeles Clippers trading him ahead of a possible extension, and in light of the Clippers effectively swapping him out for the less-playoff-proven option of John Collins, Norman Powell had plenty to say about detractors upon his arrival to the Miami Heat.

In a recent interview, Norman Powell spoke about how his mindset aligns with the Miami Heat's no-nonsense approach.

As part of a three-team trade with the Los Angeles Clippers and the Utah Jazz, the Heat is acquiring veteran guard Norman Powell from the Clippers, a league source confirmed to the Miami Herald on Monday. The Heat is sending center Kevin Love and forward Kyle Anderson to the Utah Jazz to acquire Powell.

Q: Hi, Ira. The Norman Powell trade seems too good to be true, am I missing something? I hope that, unlike the case with Terry Rozier, his offensive numbers will translate to the Heat’s slow-paced offense. – Ray, Deerfield Beach.

Speaking about his new star teammates in Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo, Heat's Norman Powell believes it's a perfect fit.

NBA Insider Zach Lowe praised the Miami Heat's recent acquisition of Norman Powell as an "absolute home run," highlighting the strategic brilliance behind the trade.
