According to previous Shams reports, Bill and the Suns reached a buyout and he will join the Clippers after the clarification period.

Celebrity reporter Tim MacMahon talked about the help of playing around Harden in the show "NBA Today". MacMahon said: "Playing with Harden, I think it's a plus. When people think of Harden, they think of James Harden in the Rockets, and they feel that he's always in control of the ball, scoring 35 points per game. But now Harden has evolved and he's one of the top 'organized point guards' in the league."

Then MacMahon said: "Looking back at the performance Powell played in the Clippers last season, that's probably the best year of his career. And I think that's largely due to his partner with James Harden. And on the Suns, they don't have such a 'organized core'. So I think Bill is in a good situation now because he's going to play with James Harden."
