Welcome to the NBA trade deadline. The year is 2021 and the deadline is pushed back to the end of March due to the delayed start to the season. Of course, last year’s pause pushed everything back and who knows when the schedule will go back to some form of normalcy. Still, one of the biggest names drawing attention around NBA trade circles is Norman Powell<\/a> <\/strong>of the Toronto Raptors<\/a>,\u00a0and he should have plenty of potential destinations.<\/p>\n

Norman Powell has caught fire as of late and has quickly become a no-name to a hot commodity across the league. The 27-year-old is having his best season in the NBA and is averaging 19.7 points including a 43 percent mark from beyond the arc.<\/p>\n

He’s been huge for the Raptors, especially considering the innumerable COVID-19 issues<\/a> they have faced since the turn of the calendar year. However, the Raptors have lost nine of their last 10 games and have quickly dropped to 11th in the Eastern Conference, just one single game ahead of the Cleveland Cavaliers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While it’s certainly not out of the realm of possibilities that they make their way back up the standings, perhaps a fire sale is coming. Kyle Lowry<\/a>‘<\/strong>s name has also been mentioned as a potential Raptor to be traded, and Powell is younger and more desirable. After all, he just dropped a career-high 43 points including eight deep bombs no more than a week ago.<\/p>\n
