Norman Powell has been on the trade block for the LA Clippers this off-season, and it looks like another championship-contending team may be interested in him.

According to Jake Weinbach of Hoopshabit, Norman Powell is a player that the Milwaukee Bucks are monitoring.

It'll be interesting to see how the Clippers handle Norman Powell this off-season. Sources have told AllClippers that the team is really looking to unload his contract, but at the same time, he's not the type of player that the Clippers should just give away. With how injury-prone Kawhi Leonard and Paul George are throughout the season, Powell has stepped up huge in their absences. Oftentimes, Powell would carry the Clippers offensively during very frequent injury-ravaged games. 

If the Clippers are going to move Norman Powell, it shouldn't be done purely as a salary dump and should be done for a greater piece in a James Harden trade. It's pretty safe to assume that if the Clippers have not made a deal for James Harden yet, it's because they offered a very lackluster package for the All-Star. 

While the Clippers have made some improvements to their roster, they're still largely too much of the same from last season. They still have a major Marcus Morris situation to address and still need to fix some holes in their lineups. Whether or not trading Norman Powell is a part of that, remains to be seen.
