Powell, 32, spent the past three seasons with the Clippers and is coming off one of the most productive seasons in his 10-year NBA career. He averaged a career-high 21.8 points in 2024-25, along with 2.1 assists and 1.2 steals while shooting 48.4% from the field.
Powell is entering the final year of a contract paying him $20.5 million per season. According to ESPN’s Bobby Marks, he can sign a three-year, $80.6 million deal until January.
According to Michael Scotto, there was some reluctance on the side of the Clippers to give Powell a long-term extension as the team is hoping to open a large amount of salary cap space in 2027 — the same summer the contracts for Kawhi Leonard and James Harden expire.
The veteran 36-year-old Love is entering his 18th NBA season. He had been in Miami since 2022 and averaged 5.3 points and 4.1 rebounds last season in 23 games. He can be an unrestricted free agency in 2026.
Never thought I’d be a math problem. Welcome to the NBA.

Collins, 27, was with the Jazz the past two seasons after beginning his NBA career with the Atlanta Hawks for six years. He averaged 19 points, 8.2 rebounds and 2 assists per game last season while shooting 52.7% from the field.
Collins can be an unrestricted free agent next summer and will make $26.6 million in 2025-26. He is eligible for a three-year, $100.5 million deal.
Anderson will be joining his sixth NBA team after spending last season with the the Heat and Golden State Warriors. The 32-year-old averaged 5.9 points and 3.4 rebounds in 61 games last season. He is signed through the next two seasons and will make $9.2 million and $9.7 million, respectively.
