Averaged 24+7 per game! No wonder the Heat didn’t renew Herro’s contract and made a lot of money from the three-way deal with the Clippers. He was even better than Bill.

9:59am, 27 October 2025【Basketball】

On October 27, the NBA regular season continued. Today, the Heat faced the challenge of the Knicks at home. Before this game, the Knicks ranked first in the Eastern Conference. They have not yet lost a game at the start of the game, while the Heat are missing their core Herro. Spoelstra seems to have the advantage, but everyone knows that the Heat team is very tough and resilient, and they have a coach of Spoelstra's level, so they cannot be underestimated. In the end, the Heat defeated the Knicks 115-107.

There is nothing to say about the process of this game. The Heat relied on their better substitute firepower to establish an advantage in the second half. Wiggins hit a three-pointer at the critical moment to kill the suspense of the game. For the Knicks in this campaign, Brunson scored 37 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 steals. Many times, Brunson is too obsessed with personal firepower, which affects the team's offense. Towns scored 15 points and 18 rebounds. He is capable but has no ball rights, and he has become a blue-collar player.

The Heat flourished more in this campaign. Adebayor scored 19 points, 13 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal. His performance was actually not good, with 5 of 15 in the game and 6 turnovers. Huskers performed well as a substitute, scoring 17 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists. This season, Huskers has to prove himself. Fontezio scored 14 points and 4 rebounds. Wiggins and Mitchell Jr. both scored 9 points. Although they didn't score much, their defense was key.

The best performer for the Heat in this campaign was Powell. He made 7 of 15 shots and 3 of 6 three-pointers. He scored 29 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals. Since Powell joined the Heat, he has played a career-best performance. The highlight moment is, on the one hand, because Hiero is absent and the team needs scoring points. On the other hand, Powell is facing a contract extension. He wants to perform well and then sign a big contract. Judging from the current situation, Powell may have to sign a contract worth hundreds of millions in the offseason.

This is not the first time Powell has played so well. In the first game of the regular season, he scored 28 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists. Since the start of the game, Powell has averaged 24 points, 7.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 2 steals per game. He shot 47.7% from the field and 50% from the three-point range. He averaged three three-pointers per game. As the regular season progresses, Powell's three-point efficiency will definitely decline, but judging from these three games, Powell's data in the new season will definitely be very good. He has the ability and still has the ball.

Judging from this season, Powell's strong shooting ability is still strong. He can ignore any defensive environment to complete the kill, and now he can kill without having to feed him. Now Powell feels like a comprehensive scorer. Looking at Powell's performance now, maybe we understand why the Heat did not renew Herro. In the offseason, Hiero could have signed a three-year, 150 million contract with the team, but the Heat did not give it.

It is probably because of the rise of Powell that the Heat have a new view on the outside core. First of all, Powell's offensive firepower is no worse than Herro, and his defense looks better. More importantly, Powell is cheaper. Powell can now sign a contract with the Heat for up to 80.6 million for three years, which is not a bit cheaper than Herro. Looking at Powell's outstanding performance now, the Clippers are probably the most depressing.

In order to strengthen the No. 4 position in the offseason, the Clippers traded Powell away. Through contact with the Jazz, they intended to acquire Collins, but the Jazz are a team that intends to cultivate young players. They did not want Powell, and the Heat seized the opportunity. They entered the deal. Since the Jazz did not want it, then we can have it, so they gave away their two garbage contracts, Kyle Lee and Love, and got Powell.

The Heat became the biggest winner from this deal. Not only did they get rid of a junk contract, but they also got an excellent perimeter player. On the other hand, the Clippers did not lose money with this deal. After all, the team got an outstanding young player whose play style fits well with Harden. I thought the Clippers would reuse Collins. After all, the team has too many old players and they need his youthful energy, but Tyronn Lue made him a substitute and wasted their resources.

The reason why the team gave up on Powell is because they have a better goal, which is Bill. In the offseason, the team bought out Bill. Judging from his previous resume, Bill is indeed better than Powell, but no matter how good he is, Since joining the Clippers, Bill has not received much ball rights at all. He has played more of a blue-collar role. He even does not have as many ball rights as Powell did when he was on the team. Therefore, his performance is still far behind Powell.

I hope Powell can continue his current performance. The Heat need his firepower to go further. Having said that, what do you want to say about the current Heat? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
