Norman Powell Heads to Bulls | Miami Heat News

Norman Powell, Miami’s clutch scorer and All-Star last season, is headed to the Chicago Bulls on a $44M, 2-year deal — a move that shocked fans after Miami traded him for just Kevin Love and Kyle Anderson.

He claims Miami never offered him a return deal, speculating they prioritized Giannis over re-signing him — a move complicated by salary cap rules involving Bobby Portis. The Heat reportedly focused on LeBron instead of using their mid-level exception. Meanwhile, Portis fired back on social media, defending his value — revealing the messy, behind-the-scenes drama of NBA free agency.
