The Miami Heat have pulled off a strategic three-team trade with the Utah Jazz and Los Angeles Clippers, acquiring veteran guard Norman Powell while sending John Collins to the Clippers. The Heat also traded Kevin Love and Kyle Anderson to the Jazz, alongside a 2027 second-round pick. This trade enhances Miami’s depth without exceeding the luxury tax threshold, allowing them to utilize the expanded trade player exception. Love, entering his 18th season, expressed surprise at being part of a financial equation. He joins the Jazz to mentor young talents like Walker Kessler and Ace Bailey. Meanwhile, Powell joins a Heat team bolstered by All-Stars Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro, while Collins joins established stars James Harden and Kawhi Leonard in a competitive Clippers lineup.
