Well, you are looking for a THJ replacement right now. Powell may be the one. I think Powell in the right system and motivation can be not a a liability on the defensive side of the game. I have faith in the coaching staff to makee that happen. Covington is more of rental in that fantasy scenario who can help them in the playoffs. His age and recent play is what makes him more getable. Same is with Powell.
But, of course, I would love for tue Mavs to get someone vetter for KP if they ever decide to trade him away.
If we are looking to replace THJ, it would only be for this year. We don't need to have two of them (including contracts) for the next couple of years.
I don't know what KP value is, but its probably as high as its been at least since the bubble. That package is roughly equivalent to an uninjured THJ and Maxi. If that is the return, then we might as well throw the dice with KP health.
