Clippers, Heat, Jazz Finalize Three-Team NBA Trade

The Los Angeles Clippers, Miami Heat, and Utah Jazz have finalized a three-team NBA trade. The Clippers land forward John Collins, who averaged 19 points and 8.2 rebounds last season with the Jazz, bolstering their frontcourt depth. Miami acquires guard Norman Powell, coming off a career-best 21.8 points per game and 41.8% three-point shooting, addressing their need for scoring after losing Duncan Robinson in free agency. The Jazz receive veterans Kevin Love and Kyle Anderson, plus a 2027 Clippers second-round pick, while creating a $26.6 million trade exception and significant salary cap flexibility. The deal is seen as a playoff push for the Clippers and Heat, and a rebuilding step for the Jazz. Utah's new cap space positions them to pursue additional assets or restricted free agents.
