Powell Leaves Heat for Bulls | Miami Heat News

Norman Powell spills the tea on why he left Miami for Chicago — he thought he was headed back to South Beach, especially after rumors of a Giannis trade. But with Bobby Portis joining the deal and Miami hitting the salary cap hard, they could only offer him $11.5M, while the Bulls threw down a juicy $45M over two years. Powell says Miami never seriously tried to make room for him — no offers, no roster moves like trading Jović or convincing Wiggins to opt out. He stood firm: he wanted to be wanted, not just offered. And when Portis fired back online, Powell called him “dawg” and suggested they talk face-to-face. It’s been a whirlwind social media ride — but Powell admits he might need to log more time on X.
