Norman Powell Is Playing Like an All-Star — Do the Heat Lock Him Up with a contract extension?

On this episode of Miami Heat Talk, we dive into one of the biggest decisions facing the Miami Heat right now: Should the Heat give Norman Powell a contract extension? As of January 7th, Norman Powell becomes extension eligible for up to four years, $128 million, and his play has made this conversation unavoidable. Powell has been outstanding in Miami, averaging 24 points per game, nearly 4 rebounds, and 3 assists, playing at an All-Star level and carrying the offense night after night. Norman reportedly wanted a three-year, $88 million extension with the Los Angeles Clippers, a demand that played a major role in why they moved on from him—especially with the NBA’s new second apron tax rules limiting team flexibility. Now the question shifts to Miami: Is it smart to commit long-term money to a 32-year-old guard, or do the Heat prioritize flexibility and shorter-term deals? In this episode, I break down: • Norman Powell’s impact on the Miami Heat • The risks and rewards of a 3-year vs 4-year extension • How the second apron affects Miami’s roster-building strategy • What Heat fans should realistically expect from the front office Let me know in the comments👇 Would YOU give Norman Powell the extension?
