Blockbuster 2027 free agency plans led to Clippers shipping Norman Powell despite All-Star caliber season 

Los Angeles Cleibers may have surprised a few people by moving from Norman Powell after trading to Miami Hit in a three -team deal. Powell won the caliber season of all stars at the border, with an average of 21.8 points, 3.2 rebound balls, 2.1 decisive passes, 48.4 % photography, including 41.8 % of 3.

His production was one of the main reasons for the survival of Clepers standing on his feet without Cohai Leonard for a better part of the season. However, Powell’s contract is not in line with Los Angeles plans in the long run. It is said that the team gives priority to the 2027 Free Agency and may be a Powell’s extension.

Here is what Michael Scotto told Hoops Hype on Monday after he informed the sun of Sharana about the trading of the three teams:

Sources: Los Angeles Clippers was hesitant to give Norman Powell a long-term extension as he entered the last year of a deal ($ 20.48 million) with the signature of Kohi Leonard and James Harden during the 2026-27 season. Clepers gives a priority of a large space in 2027

The Powell Al-Najmi’s Powell season could help him at least a four-year extension, which would reduce the Clippers feature in 2026 and 2027 with a cap area.
