Bombshell trade announced involving THREE teams and two NBA champions

A surprise three-team trade on Monday morning saw five pieces change hands - including two players who have won NBA titles.

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, the Los Angeles Clippers, Utah Jazz, and Miami Heat have agreed on terms of a deal to move guard Norman Powell from LA, forward John Collins from Utah, and both forwards Kevin Love Kyle Anderson from Miami.

Powell will be heading to the Heat, Collins is off to the Clippers, and both Love and Anderson - as well as a 2027 Clippers second-round pick - are going to the Jazz.

Starting with what Utah is receiving, the Jazz don't exactly gain much from this trade other than a fresh second-round pick.

The 31-year-old Anderson has seen a steady decline in both minutes and production since his heights in Memphis in the 2021-22 season. Last year, he averaged 5.9 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 2.4 assists in 61 games with the Heat and the Golden State Warriors.

Love, a former NBA champion with the Cleveland Cavaliers, is in the twilight of his career and averaged 5.3 points, 4.1 rebounds, and an assist per game last year in 23 appearances.

As for the more significant pieces in the deal, the Jazz were able to leverage Collins' expiring contract into acquiring some lower-end draft capital.

Last season, Collins averaged 19.0 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 2.0 assists in just 40 games of action.

Collins exercised a $26.58m player option for the upcoming 2025-26 season, but it's unclear if the Jazz were looking to extend the Utah native.

Finally, the Heat came out massive winners in this trade by giving up two role players in exchange for a top-25 scorer in the league last year.

Powell, who won a title with the Toronto Raptors, had the best scoring season of his career last year when he averaged 21.8 points per game in 60 games.

In seven playoff games, he averaged 16 points a night as the Clippers lost in seven to the Denver Nuggets.
