While there wasn't much free agency news over the 4th of July weekend, it seems as though teams were working on getting deals done that had yet to be finalized. In the case of the Los Angeles Clippers, Miami Heat, and Utah Jazz, the three sides finalized a deal on Monday to move two key players around the league.

On Monday morning, the Jazz, Clippers, and Heat agreed to a deal that would send John Collins to LA while Norman Powell would head to Miami. The deal sent Utah Kyle Anderson, Kevin Love, and a second-round pick, with Love expected to be waived. Since the news broke, Powell took to social media to break the silence.

Joining the Miami Heat, Powell will look to be that third star next to Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo, as the Heat also still have interest in targeting Damian Lillard. If they can pull that off as well, they'll be looking well-positioned in the Eastern Conference.
