I get what you are saying Dan. When I look at FA's I look at a few things:
1 - Is their team good?
2 - Do they have a big or small role?
3 - Can their own team pay them the most money?
4 - How easy is it to replace that player (ie is there a young guy behind him, does the team have cap space)
5 - Did the team give up assets to get that player?
6 - Is the team in a big or small market?
7 - Does the team have good ownership?
For a guy like Powell there's more reasons imo for him to stay than leave, which puts him in the low % pile for me. His FGA (13) was unchanged going from Toronto to Portland. THJ has 13 FGA this year. So like is there going to be some big jump in terms of shots/looks for him coming to Dallas? I sort of doubt it. Mavs spread the ball around and KP has to get his shots too.
I think he's different than a guy like THJ. If Mavs lose THJ he is not irreplaceable in that they do have cap space. Blazers are in luxury tax so they would be in a very dire spot. So much so that I think they cannot be beat on price. With all that said I just don't see it happening.
