We fully understand what the Portland Trail Blazers are attempting to do. After banging their heads against the wall over and over again, the middling franchise believed that it was time for a fire sale. Still, even with Portland feeling a desire to start from scratch, getting rid of Norman Powell was a horrendous move.

Be that as it may, Clippers fans should get used to life with Powell as their third option. Before going down with injury, Powell played in five total games in LA, starting on only two occasions. Needless to say, Powell adjusted just fine to life as a Clipper. Powell averaged 21.4 points a night during his brief stint.

In Toronto, Powell was also a terrific scorer, averaging at least 16 points a game on multiple occasions. With Powell fitting in just fine in the starting lineup or off the bench, the Clippers have an opportunity to make a deep playoff run with Powell playing a huge role.
