Powell was a borderline All-Star last season. He averaged a career-high 21.8 points on 48.4 percent shooting and 41.8 percent from three in 60 starts for the Clippers. Powell stepped up in a big way with Paul George gone. He expanded his role and became a huge offensive weapon for Los Angeles.
The Heat now have a proven scorer who can get downhill and who will alleviate pressure off of Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo. Powell will be back in the Eastern Conference where he will face his old team the Raptors many times this season. The Heat and Raptors could cross paths down the line in what should be a crowded East Play-In picture.
Powell will enter his 11th NBA season as this will mark his 4th team. He is in the final year of his deal and will earn $20.5 million.
For now Powell is slatted to start alongside Herro, Andrew Wiggins, Adebayo and Kel’el Ware.
