And unless we can convert the Bullock MLE into a TPE we don't have a way to pick up Dragic for more than the min, and no reason be assured Toronto buys him out, and limited other options to acquire a secondary play maker. It looks to me that we boxed ourselves into a corner and gave Toronto all the leverage.
The list of 6
Boban
WCS
Powell
Kleber
Brown
KP
Is this the list of 6?
Boban - true C and offensive gimmick weapon
WCS - true C and somewhat proven level of C play
Powell - small ball C more of a C
Kleber - small ball C more of a PF
Brown - unknown quantity/quality
KP - Considered C but often shares floor w Powell/Kleber.
I guess Brown can answer a lot of questions for me about whether Powell is not needed anymore. But situationally his defense and activity along with his rim running are worth his last year of his contract. So maybe the scenario should be flipped: instead of Toronto seeking an extra asset from us, we should be seeking an asset from them in order to take back Dragic salary in exchange for Powell and friends.
Thank you Donnie.
