In this summer's offseason, the Clippers sent Powell to the Heat in a three-party deal in exchange for Collins and created space to sign Bill.
Recently, Powell said in an interview with Essentially Sports said in an interview: "They kept talking about how much they valued me and how much they liked me as a Clippers player. Now I feel that it was all empty talk. I talked with Lu about the direction I wanted to renew my contract, and I don’t know if that changed their plans. Around the time there were trade rumors, their tone also changed, from 'We love you and want to renew' to 'We have to think about the future and become younger. This is not your fault, but...' and so on. The conversation just turned."
