NBA Trade News: Clippers Acquire John Collins, Heat Receive Norman Powell

The LA Clippers and Miami Heat have added to their lineup in the offseason via a reported three-team trade.

Powell enjoyed his best scoring season in 2024-25 with the Clippers, averaging 21.8 points per game while also posting 3.2 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.2 steals per game while shooting 48.4% overall and 41.8% on 3-pointers. Miami spent its offseason shoring up its roster, inking versatile swingman Davion Mitchell to a two-year deal and picking up Simone Fontecchio in the reported sign-and-trade deal Duncan Robinson agreed to with the Pistons.

Collins enjoyed a strong season for the Jazz, who finished last in the Western Conference. He posted 19 ppg, 8.2 rpg, 2 apg and shot 52.7% overall and 39.9% on 3-pointers. Love is an NBA champion, a five-time All-Star, a likely Hall of Famer when his playing days end and had expressed interest in possibly remaining with the Heat even past his current contract — which expires after the coming 2025-26 season.
