Tough decision. I think Powell is a great finisher at the rim, great team guy and knows the Mavs system really well.
But then, you have to think about the potential playoff match-up against AD, or Jokic and even Harrell. These guys know how to abuse Powell in the paint.
Teams will want to attack him (and Luka and THJ) in the playoffs. That's three starters that will be challenged defensively big time.
I think FO should look at why the Raps traded for Marc Gasol last year. That trade was made to prepare for Embiid and Lopez.
