The Miami Heat made a significant move by acquiring Norman Powell from the Los Angeles Clippers, injecting much-needed scoring into their lineup. Powell, who averaged 21.8 points last season, is expected to be a game-changer for the Heat. Despite this positive addition, the Heat continue to struggle with Terry Rozier’s expiring $26.6 million contract, which has made trading him a challenge, leaving the team uncertain about its backcourt depth.

Although the Heat secured Powell and drafted Kasparas Jakučionis with the 20th pick, the looming presence of Rozier hangs heavily over the team's offseason efforts. His recent performance, including a low effective field goal percentage, has deterred potential suitors. The Heat's management remains hopeful that they can find a solution as they continue to reshape the roster.
