The Portland Trail Blazers acquired Norman Powell in a trade with the Toronto Raptors in order to secure the freakish efficiency Powell has displayed this season. However, can they keep him this offseason as he enters unrestricted free agency? Dan Favale of Bleacher Report lists Powell as the “biggest flight risk” for the Trail Blazers due to the fact that such efficiency means Powell deserves a better contract.
This marriage of volume and efficiency is going to get Powell puh-aid. His $11.6 million player option can’t be declined quickly enough.
