The Miami Heat solidified their roster for the upcoming season by acquiring Norman Powell from the Los Angeles Clippers in a blockbuster three-team trade involving the Utah Jazz. Powell, a 32-year-old veteran and former NBA champion with a scoring average of 21.8 points last season, aims to alleviate some of the offensive pressure on Tyler Herro, Miami's rising star.

During his introductory press conference, Powell expressed his commitment to supporting Herro, who had a standout season last year, averaging nearly 24 points, 5.5 assists, and 5.2 rebounds. With defenses increasingly focusing on Herro, Powell's ability to score efficiently from various spots will be crucial as the Heat aim for a deep playoff run.
