LAS VEGAS — In the wake of the Los Angeles Clippers trading him ahead of a possible extension, and in light of the Clippers effectively swapping him out for the less-playoff-proven option of John Collins, Norman Powell had plenty to say about detractors upon his arrival to the Miami Heat.

The Utah Jazz, LA Clippers and Miami Heat have agreed to a three-team trade that sends power forward John Collins to Los Angeles, shooting guard Norman Powell to Miami and power forwards Kyle Anderson and Kevin Love to Utah. The Jazz are also getting a Clippers 2027 second-round pick, a league source tells The Athletic.

In a recent interview, Norman Powell spoke about how his mindset aligns with the Miami Heat's no-nonsense approach.

Q: Hi, Ira. The Norman Powell trade seems too good to be true, am I missing something? I hope that, unlike the case with Terry Rozier, his offensive numbers will translate to the Heat’s slow-paced offense. – Ray, Deerfield Beach.
