Most importantly, all of those guys represent defensive anchors. The only thing we have close to that is Maxi, but his offensive has been a significant liability in crunch time. If we are going to finish games with 3 PGs, none of whom are better than average defenders, we really need a defensive anchor that won't kill our offense.
Ok, I'm with you.
Again, there simply aren't very many of them. All of the known upgrades are ensconced securely on playoff teams.
Give me Powell, or Kleber (the Mavs have BOTH) over any alternative that can't play pick and roll defense. That's all I'm saying.
