New-Look Miami Heat With Norman Powell Look Ready To Make Noise In East
New-Look Miami Heat With Norman Powell Look Ready To Make Noise In East originally appeared on Fadeaway World. The Miami Heat endured a disappointing 2024-25 season, as the Cleveland Cavaliers swept them in record-breaking fashion in the first round of the playoffs. After a thrashing like that one, roster changes seemed almost inevitable this offseason, as the Heat looked to return to relevance. Advertisement The Heat were very much in the Kevin Durant sweepstakes at one stage, but the Phoenix Suns would trade him to the Houston Rockets instead. While missing out on Durant was disappointing, they have now managed to bring in a pretty good scorer. The Heat acquired Norman Powell on Monday in a three-team deal that involved the Los Angeles Clippers and the Utah Jazz. They only had to part with Kevin Love and Kyle Anderson from their roster to get Powell, and here's what their depth chart looks like now following this deal. Depth Chart Point Guard: Tyler Herro, Davion Mitchell, Kasparas Jakucionis Shooting Guard: Norman Powell, Terry Rozier, Pelle Larsson Small Forward: Andrew Wiggins, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Simone Fontecchio, Keshad Johnson Power Forward: Bam Adebayo, Nikola Jovic, Haywood Highsmith Center: Kel'el Ware, Vladislav Goldin The Heat weren't a great offensive team last season, ranking 21st in offensive rating at 112.4. They needed another scorer in that backcourt with Tyler Herro and have now got one in Powell. Advertisement Herro averaged 23.9 points, 5.2 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 0.9 steals, and 0.2 blocks per game for the Heat in 2024-25. It was the best season of his career, and he was rewarded for it with a spot on the All-Star team. It was a revolving door at the guard spot next to Herro for much of last season, and some continuity with having Powell there should help. He averaged 21.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.2 steals, and 0.2 blocks per game for the Clippers in 2024-25. With Kawhi Leonard missing the start of the season and Paul George leaving in free agency, the Clippers needed someone to step up, and Powell did just that. He'll now be carrying a lot of that scoring load with Herro on the Heat. There is one problem with having a starting backcourt of Herro and Powell, though, and that's defense. They can't really defend, but fortunately for them, those next to them can. Advertisement Andrew Wiggins remains a very good wing defender, and he averaged 19.0 points, 4.2 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.2 steals, and 1.0 blocks per game for the Heat in 2024-25. Wiggins was the big piece the Heat got from the Golden State Warriors in the Jimmy Butler trade, and it looked like he might be on the move again this offseason. Trade rumors were swirling around, with the Los Angeles Lakers being one of the teams linked. Following this Powell trade, though, you'd think the Heat wouldn't be parting with Wiggins. Someone who the Heat definitely won't part with is Bam Adebayo. Adebayo averaged 18.1 points, 9.6 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 1.3 steals, and 0.7 blocks per game in 2024-25. It wasn't his greatest season, but he's been a perennial DPOY candidate and was a big reason why the team ranked ninth in defensive rating at 112.0 last season. Kel'el Ware is another who isn't getting traded, with the Heat reportedly refusing to include him in packages for Durant. Ware, the 15th pick of the 2024 NBA Draft, had a productive rookie campaign, averaging 9.3 points, 7.4 rebounds, 0.9 assists, 0.6 steals, and 1.1 blocks per game in 2024-25. He showed promise on both ends of the floor, and it'll be fascinating to see his progression. Advertisement The Heat have a solid bench unit as things stand as well. They've got a defensive guard in Davion Mitchell and an intriguing prospect in Kasparas Jakucionis along with him in the backcourt. Jaime Jaquez Jr. is probably the one to keep an eye on from this reserve unit, as he didn't quite take a leap in his sophomore season. If Jaquez is able to bounce back, he can provide a much-needed boost from the bench or even make a case to be a starter. In all, this is a solid team that can make some noise in what is a very weak Eastern Conference. A run to the NBA Finals still appears highly unlikely, but the Heat could well prove to be a headache for some of the best teams in the Conference.

Heat's NBA Champion Wing Named Top Trade Candidate After Norman Powell Deal
Heat's NBA Champion Wing Named Top Trade Candidate After Norman Powell Deal originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Norman Powell became the newest member of the Miami Heat on Monday after the franchise completed a blockbuster 3-team trade with the Los Angeles Clippers and Utah Jazz. Advertisement By adding a fringe All-Star scorer to pair in the backcourt with their first-time All-Star guard Tyler Herro, the Heat could be a sneakily dangerous offensive threat in what should be a wide-open Eastern Conference next season. Though team president Pat Riley and the Heat's front office pulled off a spectacular move to acquire a consistent scorer and three-point marksman, the franchise might remain active on the trade market. In fact, FanSided's Michael Saenz appears confident that the Heat have another transaction left in the tank, this time centered around ex-Golden State Warriors forward and 2022 All-Star, Andrew Wiggins. Miami Heat forward Andrew Wiggins (22).Sam Navarro-Imagn Images "For a second, let's forget about the fact that Wiggins doesn't fit the 'youth movement' that the Heat may be moving toward," Saenz wrote Tuesday afternoon. Advertisement "From a basketball perspective, the addition of Powell does make Wiggins an expendable player. And if the Heat could get a future first-round pick in exchange for him on the trade market, there's little value in keeping him on the roster." While Wiggins proved to be an exceptional playoff performer and top-end 3-and-D wing as a member of the Warriors, Saenz argued that the 30-year-old should be heading to another team prior to the beginning of the 2025-26 season. "Not to mention that a big part in Miami creating ultimate financial flexibility heading into next summer revolves around trading Wiggins at some point between now and the 2026 NBA Trade Deadline." The 6-foot-7 forward, former No. 1 overall pick in the 2014 NBA Draft and 2015 Rookie of the Year had a career revival with Golden State prior to the beginning of his tenure with the Heat this past season. Advertisement Wiggins notched his first and only All-Star appearance and claimed his first NBA title victory alongside Stephen Curry in 2022, acting as a fantastic No. 2 option behind the 2-time NBA MVP. After contributing 19.0 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 1.0 blocks in 17 appearances with the Heat to close out the 2024-25 regular season, his value remains high. In terms of trade partners, the Los Angeles Lakers have stuck out as a potential destination in recent weeks, but the Heat appear to have a steep asking price for the veteran.

Three-Time NBA All-Star Predicts Heat Will Be Fighting Over Ball After Latest Trade
Three-Time NBA All-Star Predicts Heat Will Be Fighting Over Ball After Latest Trade originally appeared on Athlon Sports. In a move that has been lauded around the NBA, the Miami Heat were able to acquire a borderline all-star for practically nothing. Advertisement The Heat sent 36-year-old Kevin Love, Kyle Anderson and a future pick to the Utah Jazz in exchange for Norman Powell from the Los Angeles Clippers as a part of a three-team trade, which also saw the Jazz ship John Collins to the Clippers. Coming off a year where the Heat lacked a third option after the Jimmy Butler trade, they are able to plug in Powell who averaged 21.8 points on 48.4% shooting from the field and 41.8% shooting from deep. While most around Miami and the NBA in general approve of the move and think it could elevate the Heat, Gilbert Arenas believes that Powell's career year was a product of injuries. The former Washington Wizards star expressed that with two other guys vying for touches in Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo, it'll be difficult for Powell to replicate what he did in Los Angeles when the Clippers were Kawhi Leonard missed a chunk of time. 'You're going to Miami where there's already guys who wants to shoot the ball. So, now it's fight for the ball," Arenas said. "...he was averaging 24 because no one else was there, so I'm giving you the ball to have fun. When one person came back, it was like, alright, move around, sit in the corner. Advertisement 'You're going to a team where they all are trying to be the star, so it's gonna be more of a fight over there because they all gonna be playing. Here, in Clippers, you can bank on Kawhi (Leonard) not playing a lot.' LA Clippers guard Norman Powell (24).© Ron Chenoy-Imagn Images While there may be some growing pains with Powell in the mix, he is used to playing off the ball and his ability to stretch the floor. Something that Butler wasn't necessarily the best at. Only time will tell, but Arenas is already out on the Heat's biggest move of the offseason.

Tyler Herro's Trade Value Revealed Amid Swirling Offseason Rumors
Tyler Herro's Trade Value Revealed Amid Swirling Offseason Rumors originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Miami Heat shook things up on Monday morning when the franchise acquired fringe All-Star guard Norman Powell from the Los Angeles Clippers by way of a blockbuster 3-team trade including the Utah Jazz, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. Advertisement The Clippers brought in Utah's star forward John Collins and the Jazz collected second-round draft capital attached to the Heat's Kevin Love and Kyle Anderson. Powell could make a world of difference for the Heat as a go-to scoring option in the backcourt to pair with the team's first-time All-Star Tyler Herro next season, but it appears as though the 25-year-old has yet to escape trade rumors, himself. While discussing the savvy scoring guard's potential value on the trade market in the wake of the Orlando Magic's surprising transaction to land the Memphis Grizzlies' Desmond Bane, the Miami Herald's Barry Jackson made an intriguing assertion. Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro reacts after scoring against the Philadelphia 76ers at Wells Fargo Ross-Imagn Images "Bane considered more of 2 way player," Jackson shared via X on Monday. Advertisement "Tyler could net 2 Firsts potentially." The ex-Grizzlies guard Bane was dealt to the Magic on June 15 for a gargantuan haul, as the Grizzlies landed Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Cole Anthony, four unprotected first-round picks and a first-round pick swap, shaking up the market in the process. Surprisingly enough, Jackson believes that the Heat would only land a couple of first-round draft selections in exchange for Herro, who contributed 23.9 points, 5.5 assists and 5.2 rebounds on an impressive 56.3% effective field goal percentage in 2024-25. Bane wasn't too shabby during his final season with the Grizzlies, as the 27-year-old guard averaged 19.2 points and 5.3 assists while knocking down 39.2% of his 6.1 attempts from three-point range. Advertisement If the Heat were to ever consider shipping Herro away, team president Pat Riley and the franchise's front office would work tirelessly to net as many draft selections in return for the rising star as possible, or a proven talent that would keep the team competitive.
