Overview

• Miami sent Kyle Anderson and Kevin Love to the Clippers to acquire veteran guard Norman Powell and bolster perimeter scoring.
• Powell arrives off a career-high 21.8 points per game with efficient 48/42/80 shooting splits and strong two-way versatility.
• The Heat locked in Davion Mitchell on a two-year, $24 million extension to reinforce on-ball defense and secondary playmaking.
• Bam Adebayo described the summer moves as a “very good shakeup” that sets Miami up for a deep playoff run and legitimate title bid.
• ESPN analyst Tim Legler projects the Heat to win around 38–39 games next season, signaling doubts about a significant leap.
