Share Updated [hour]:[minute] [AMPM] [timezone], [monthFull] [day], [year] MIAMI (AP) — Add Norman Powell to the list of this past season’s All-Stars who are changing addresses this summer in NBA free agency.Powell has agreed to a two-year deal that could be worth up to $45 million with the Chicago Bulls, a person with knowledge of the talks said Wednesday. Powell also had received some interest from the Detroit Pistons, said the person, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the contract cannot be finalized until July 6 at the earliest.ESPN and Chicago Sports Network were among those who first reported the agreement between Powell and the Bulls, who will hold a team option for 2027-28. Powell spent this past season in Miami, where he became an All-Star for the first time and averaged 21.7 points in 58 games with the Heat.Miami will have a very different look this coming season, after the acquisition of Giannis Antetokounmpo in a trade that sent Tyler Herro and others to Milwaukee. Powell will be joining his fifth team, after past stints with Portland, the Los Angeles Clippers, Toronto and the Heat. All-Stars on the movePowell is among five — and there likely will be more — All-Star selections from 2026 alone to be on the move this offseason.He joins Antetokounmpo (Milwaukee to Miami), Kawhi Leonard and Brandon Ingram (the headliners of a trade that brings Leonard back to Toronto and sends Ingram to the Los Angeles Clippers), and LeBron James (who is leaving the Los Angeles Lakers for a yet-to-be-decided team).Of the 62 players with at least one All-Star selection in the last five years, just over half — 32 of them — have changed teams at least once in that span. 3 MIN READ 1 MIN READ 1 MIN READ Nikola Vucevic returns to OrlandoNikola Vucevic is headed back to the Orlando Magic, agreeing on a one-year deal for just under $4 million, a person with knowledge of those talks confirmed.Vucevic is second all-time on the Magic list in rebounds, third in points and fourth in games played. The 35-year-old center has been in the league for 15 seasons, nine of those with Orlando — and now joins a young core led by Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner.Orlando needed another post option after losing Moritz Wagner in free agency to Brooklyn — and Vucevic, who still has a home in central Florida, was the natural fit. Moritz Wagner, the brother of Franz Wagner, is signing a two-year deal with the Nets.Vucevic averaged 15.1 points this past season for Chicago and Boston. Marcus Smart, the NBA’s defensive player of the year in 2022, is about to join his fourth team in a span of 17 months after agreeing with the Houston Rockets on a two-year deal worth about $12.7 million, a person with knowledge of those talks told the AP.Smart was with Memphis as recently as February 2025, then was sent to Washington to complete that season and spent this past season with the Lakers.He averaged 9.3 points and started 54 games for the Lakers in 2025-26.
