So, fellow HQ contributor Joel Stephens put together a nice piece exploring some landing places for Norman Powell. The piece tries its best to find a team to take Norm off the Raptors’ hands to shed some salary and more easily fit a new contract for Fred VanVleet onto the books — ideally before Powell’s extension kicks in.
One scenario (which would work in the summer after those options have potentially passed the team by) that is a little less about just removing Norm, but also about making a bigger trade, is pitching in and helping the Clippers and Mavericks sort out their DeAndre Jordan dance.
