Norman Powell to Chicago Bulls in Another All-Star Move as Teams Continue Shaping Rosters
- Free agent guard Norman Powell signed a two-year, $45 million contract with the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday, according to ESPN's Shams Charania, with a team option for 2027-28.
- Miami let the 32-year-old walk after acquiring Giannis Antetokounmpo, creating salary cap constraints that forced the Heat to part ways, while Chicago executive vice president of basketball operations Bryson Graham targeted Powell for immediate offensive production.
- Powell earned his first career NBA All-Star selection last season, averaging 21.7 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 2.5 assists per game while shooting 47% from the field with the Heat.
- The agreement leaves the Bulls with one roster spot and $9.4 million in a mid-level exception, maintaining financial flexibility by including the team option similar to their recent contract extension for center Zach Collins.
- Powell will mentor young players like Caleb Wilson, Matas Buzelis, and Noe Essengue while spacing the floor for Josh Giddey, as Chicago pursues a playoff spot in 2026-27 with this veteran presence.
