Veteran guard Norman Powell wasn’t expected to be traded from the LA Clippers this offseason. However, Powell is happy to have landed with the Miami Heat.
“Honestly, I didn’t know what to think at first. I mean, it’s been a crazy last couple of weeks, just from talking to Lawrence Frank in my exit meeting and what they were telling me, Powell said. “When I got the call and said I was traded, obviously it’s a shock, because you’re not expecting it. You just had a career year.”
Despite the shock of being traded, Powell is looking forward to playing for the Heat.
“Hearing that it was Miami, I was really excited,” Powell said. “And then thinking back to my childhood and being a big fan of Dwyane Wade and watching the Heat growing up and wanting to play for the Heat organization as one of the teams as a childhood dream that you want to play for, it’s definitely a cool, full-circle moment for me.”
