The most profitable trade in the league this season? Trading two junk contracts for the team’s scoring leader, the Clippers suffered a big loss

On November 9th, the NBA regular season continued. In the game that just ended, the Heat defeated the Trail Blazers 136-131. The two fastest teams in the league this season. They played a good match. However, Yang Hansen still did not get a chance to play in this game. Yang Hansen will definitely have the opportunity to play in the future, but the playing time and number of appearances are not likely to be many. The Trail Blazers are very patient with him.

Avdija played well for the Trail Blazers in this campaign. He made 12 of 21 shots from the field, 3 of 9 three-pointers, and scored 33 points, 11 rebounds, 8 assists, and 2 blocks. This player is simply a replica of Doncic. His skills are too comprehensive. Grant scored 18 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists, and Holiday scored 18 points, 9 rebounds and 13 assists. Sharp scored 21 points and 9 rebounds. Kamara and Klingen both scored 13 points. Rowe only played 7 minutes, let alone Hexion. They are currently focusing on the five small schools, and the big center does not have many opportunities to play.

In this campaign, seven players from the Heat scored in double figures. The Heat played very good team basketball this season. Their team totaled 37 assists in this campaign. Larsson scored 16 points and 5 assists, Wiggins scored 15 points and 3 rebounds, and Mitchell Jr. scored 11 points, 2 rebounds, and 8 assists. On the bench, Jovic scored 29 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists, Harks had 14 points, 12 rebounds and 7 assists, and Smith had 13 points and 6 assists. The Heat's substitutes this season are so strong that they feel they can compete with the Pacers' substitutes last season. Powell scored 22 points and 3 assists in this campaign.

After the Heat won, they ranked seventh in the Eastern Conference with 6 wins and 4 losses. This is because Adebayor has been absent recently and Hiero has not yet returned. The team's record is worthy of praise. The reason why the Heat can I think playing so well has something to do with two people. One is Spoelstra. He made the Heat change their style of play this season and became the fastest team in the league. He has well integrated modern basketball concepts into the team, making the Heat's offensive firepower even more terrifying.

The other one is Powell. This season, in the absence of Herro, Powell has supported the Heat's offense and has become the team's first scoring point. This season, Powell averaged 23.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.4 steals per game. He shot 46.2% from three-point range and averaged 2.6 three-pointers per game. Looking at Powell, who is playing well now, the Clippers are probably the most uncomfortable. They suffered a big loss from this deal, while the Heat made a big profit.

The Clippers wanted to get an outstanding power forward this summer, so they targeted the Jazz's Collins. The Jazz aimed to rebuild. They wanted to train young players and were unwilling to extend Collins' big contract, so they also wanted to trade Collins, but they didn't want Powell because they couldn't give him the ball. Under such circumstances, the two teams wanted to bring in a third party to complete the deal, and the Heat seized the opportunity to enter the trade discussion.

The Heat's recruitment this summer was not very successful. They recruited Durant but did not get it. The reason was that Riley was unwilling to send Will. Riley, the general manager, is like this. Unless it is a value-for-money deal, he will not do it.

Originally, the Clippers' acquisition of Collins would have been valuable. Collins averaged 19 points per game during the Jazz era and had excellent shooting ability and the ability to eat down the line. He is one of the best space power forwards in the active league, but Tyronn Lu doesn't know how to use it, and it's a waste of money to keep him on the bench. This season, Collins averaged 12.6 points, 5 rebounds, 0.9 assists and 1 steal per game, shooting 54.9% from the field and 42% from three-point range. The efficiency is very good, but the playing time is not enough, and it cannot make up for the damage caused by Powell leaving the team.

Kyle Lee and Love are garbage contracts for the Heat. They wanted to get rid of them last season, but failed to do so, and they have successfully gotten rid of them now. The key is that the Heat exchanged them for the team's current scoring leader, which is great value. I don't know which one everyone thinks is the most profitable transaction this season. Anyway, looking at it now, I think it was the Heat's operation. They used such chips to exchange for a super shooter. It's wonderful.

When Hiero and Adebayor return, the Heat's lineup will be more complete. In terms of their current strength, I think they have a chance to hit the top five in the Eastern Conference. Although this team does not have big-name stars, they have many players with star quality, which makes them very competitive. Don't forget that they also have Wiggins. Now that Harks and Jovic have also increased their goals, the team's upper limit is worth looking forward to.

Having said that, what do you want to say about the current Heat and Powell? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
