Powell is exactly what this team has been needing for the non Herro minutes and is on a great expiring contract

Man I wanted Collins but I gotta give the front office credit for as much **** as I give them, I really like this move. That’s how you turn a pile of **** into something good.

I’ve been begging for them to get a vet scoring two guard behind Herro and Powell is a dog on defense too.

Refusing to trade Herro for guys like Mitchell and Kyrie then agreeing to do so for Giddey sounds like this FO tbh.


Bro… just because you keep spreading the BS don’t make it true. We didn’t trade Herro for Mitchell, because our offer was not beating the Cavs offer. The Cavs offer was one asset better than our best possible offer that included Herro. Despite whatever journalist say to get your attention and click, the evidence is in the final offer Utah accepted.

I’m not so sure on rotation yet but he’s a much needed piece, he was arguably an all star snub last year

I won't be surprised if Herro/Powell is our starting backcourt Day 1.

Anderson and Love got us Powell, that’s actually wild but the clippers viewed Collins as more of a need for their team.

Good move. Powell was the player I wanted before the Heat got Lowry
