The Miami Heat had a relatively quiet offseason but achieved a noteworthy victory by acquiring guard Norman Powell from the Los Angeles Clippers through a three-team deal. At age 32, Powell had a standout season, averaging a career-high 21.8 points with impressive 3-point shooting statistics. Dwyane Wade emphasized Powell's fit with the Heat, suggesting the team is an ideal environment for him to reach his potential as a competitive player and an All-Star candidate. Powell is also expected to contribute defensively, leveraging his physicality on the court.
At this point of [Norman Powell]'s career, (Miami) is the perfect place for him to get to that level that he was on the cusp of - that All-Star level, being one of the best players. Like he said, once [Paul George] left, it opened up the opportunities more for him and he shined.
(He's) just a great competitor out there on the floor. That's what Miami loves - Miami loves competitors, and Norman Powell is that. That's another step in the direction that you want to see Miami turn to get this thing back on track.
