Maybe we bring back Powell if he is cheap plus we still have McGee and Bertans and Daniel that guy we traded Bullock for that is 6'8" and I don't know what he is capable of but likely He's a somewhat decent player but just overpaid enough that he would be considered a bad contract to warrant such a trade for the pacers. If Zach moves up in the draft I doubt we can figure out a way to snag him with anyone else unless we add in THJ. We could also offer a future first and cancel that trade and find another way to sweeten the deal if they preferred that package. Our future first is likely about the same as one or both of their late firsts. They need to use that extra first rounder later and figure out how to use it in a future draft so they can add another player without trying to integrate 3 new first round rookies in one season and risk having one not develop.
I don't want Powell back even for the min.
If we traded for Jokic or Embiid, Powell would still be our starter no matter what we are paying him.
Mavs should be done with Powell imo, because the temptation to play him seems to be too much no matter who the coach is on this team.
That is certainly one way to put it. I think a more correct statement is despite Dallas repeated attempts to move on from Powell they continue to need him and Powell incredibly unselfishly has always been there and without complaints. I will never understand this dumb sentiment from Dallas fans that because Dallas asks too much from Powell, Powell is at fault for doing his best. If Christian wood had the temperament and defense and motor to be a starter full time Dwight wouldn’t play but he doesn’t. If Maxi had the health and conditioning to start over Powell he would. But as it turns out when you get into the dog days of the season when players are out and tired you need hustle guys who can give 20 backup minutes.
The solution is to add upgrades over Powell. If we want to not resign Powell to the vet min we need to add 3 centers who are all clearly above him. Because as some point one of them is going to get injured and we need a replacement.
