MassLive’s Brian Robb does not see Norm Powell being an option for the Boston Celtics in 2021 free agency this summer, but as Robb sees it, there’s a chance that whatever figure he and the Portland Trail Blazers (or a team that outbids them) agree to could have trickle-down effects on the C’s own free-agent case with Evan Fournier.
Powell opted out of his contract yesterday, deciding that he could more than recoup the $11.6 million player option on the open market. He was a trade deadline pickup from the Toronto Raptors that played a role on the 2018-19 NBA Championship team whose numbers took a slight dip when he made his way west to Portland.
