Edit: Ughhh...just read that Powell got hurt one week after the ability to apply for a disabled player exception expired.
Yea hella unfortunate.. Marvin Williams would be the ideal buyout pickup. If TT gets bought out he would be perfect as well.

An expensive ball stopper that likes to set up in the mid range? We could have limited him to a 3&D role, but we got DFS doing that probably better than Barnes can do it.
Of course we do, bro. But Barnes didn't occupy that role here and wasn't paid to do so. He can play D and he can shoot the 3, but you'd have to convince him to limit himself to that. It's not as simple as just telling him to do it. He believes he's a versatile, core piece. He needs, and I'm sure wants, to play for someone who has use of his iso ball.
You do realize he won a ring with the Warriors as their 4th best player in a 3D role? He was our best player when he was taking more shots because we were literally tanking. But on this team he would be moved back to his ideal role, 3D player. It's not rocket science lol. I agree we should have traded him IF we were going to use the TPE and trade Lee. But for whatever reason, I can't even begin to guess what that is, we did not trade Lee and wasted the TPE.
