One of the Miami Heat Stars may turn to rival Boston Celtics to sign with a well-known super agent.
The Miami Heat have been relatively quiet when it comes to getting it going this offseason. Despite having to make some changes, Pat Riley doesn’t do much.
The heat gave up on Keruel Wear and didn’t land Kevin Durant. So they missed the former NBA champion who continued to participate in the Houston Rockets.
The fever realised that Kevin Durant wouldn’t make them better. At the very least, it wasn’t enough to abandon the assets needed to make it happen.
Instead, Miami traded for Norman Powell and landed him in a three-team trade with the LA Clippers and the Utah Jazz.
But if Norman Powell’s latest business moves are a sign of what’s going forward, he could be a Miami Heat rental.
Norman Powell, who is currently riding on the Miami Heat, has made some changes to his representative. Powell left Wasserman’s agency to sign with Jason Gulson.
Glushon is a powerful NBA superagent and has several well-known clients in the league. His list of clients is the third largest of 11 super agents, with only Billy Duffy and Rich Paul at the top.
Glushon customers include Jaylen Brown, Franz Wagner, Jrue Holiday, Sam Hauser, Donte Divincenzo and Duncan Robinson.
A closer look at that list reveals that three clients, Brown, Holiday and Hauser, have connections with the Boston Celtics.
Over the past few years, Glushon has negotiated lucrative contracts for all three with the Boston Celtics, including a massive $300 million deal for Brown. Is this a sign that Powell is about to join the Celtics?
When things stand, Norman Powell has not signed an extension of his contract with the Miami Heat. Perhaps his new agent will help him negotiate a better, long-term deal on the heat.
Powell is away from the best season of his career when he lifted All-Star numbers. Last season he averaged 21.8 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.1 assists.
If Powell is looking for a huge payday, the Miami Heat may not be his team. Pat Riley is famous for being a frugal and won’t give players a big deal unless they feel they’ve won it.
If this is true and both parties cannot agree to a new deal, perhaps Riley could trade Norman Powell ahead of the February trade deadline next year.
