The NBA moves keep on coming.
Los Angeles was facing a decision on Powell’s contract, which is worth $20.5 million and expires at the end of the 2025-26 season, per Spotrac.com. The Clippers, however, will need to be conservative with their cap, given that stars Kawhi Leonard and James Harden are linked to the team for the next two seasons.
Powell, 32, is coming off the best season of his 10-year career, averaging 21.8 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game and hit 41.8% of his 3 pointers. Powell had been a reliable bench player for most of his time with the Clippers but was thrust into the starting lineup as Leonard dealt with a knee injury for most of the season.
Collins, 27, recently exercised a $26.6 million player option in his contract. The move gives the Clippers more depth in the front court after the team signed center Brook Lopez during free agency.
Love, who turns 37 in September, was a reserve for the Heat and averaged just 10.9 minutes in 23 appearances. Anderson is now on his third team in a year, after the Timberwolves had traded him to the Warriors in July 2024; Golden State then shipped Anderson to Miami in February as part of the Jimmy Butler deal.
