What to do w/ Dwight Powell and his $33M?

[Magickian]

Powell was the second most important person on the court for the Mavs this year so far. He was playing way above his contract value in our system while healthy.

He was in the 100th percentile as a roll man only to be challenged by Gobert every so often. His effect gave Luka the opportunity to get 1 or 2 large steps closer to the basket thus his success as one of the best to finish at the basket in the league this year. When he doesn't have the respect of the defense on the switch they get in front of Luka and he tends to take more step back 3s. Obviously you do not watch the games or you'd be able to see Powell's value.

JJ came back strong after his injury last year and he's way out of his athletic prime and the same was said about him last year. I'm sure Powell will come back even stronger than he was this year and return to our regular basketball activities.

We're not trading Powell. Op is filled with Powell hatred lmao. Silly post.

I usually am one to be on your side about these things with our guys. I tend to take up for them more, and express the value of patience and seeing all angles of their value to the team. 


Powell I get is great for the locker room, I also get some of the points you bring up, and can see some of the validity of this argument ringing true. I will concede there is some truth in there...

I just think that his negatives on the court outweigh the positives you mention. Maybe outweigh isn't the best word... but rather... his negatives are just enough, that it makes his positives less valuable, and therefore he has never been worth the money he got, and I have always been against his first and then second contract.
