Trade & FA 2024-25:

[Smitty]

can we drop the idea of trading Powell? It’s clear they want him here. He’s a good locker room guy who knows the scheme inside and out. I’d be willing to bet he played a big part in Lively and Gafford development in the pick and roll with Luka telling them how he prefers to play the PnR.

I don’t think anyone *wants* to trade him. We were just talking through things. Nico has no ties to Powell and has turned over the roster. The only two that remain outside of Luka are Maxi and Powell.
