I like Powell, I don't know why we needed to lock him up to an extension. I was totally fine with Powell on a 1 year deal or letting him walk if he opted out or trying to come up with a reasonable number had he opted out.
He is a good backup big. I like him and Maxi as a pairing. He is not a 30 mpg starter and I hope the Mavs understand that. Maxi is a better starter but I am not sure he is a 30 mpg starter either. It feels like to me we need 1 more guy. It could be a bona fide starter like an Adams type or more realistically it could be a Favors/Aminu/Iggy/Morris type to join our bigs committee. All 4 of those names are potential future additions. Favors/Morris/Iggy are on 1 year deals and so could be available sooner or later. Aminu is a guy you could get possible one way or another.
The goal then would be to have a token starter, like say Favors and then keep Maxi/Powell on the bench.
If you get Favors for MLE money then you could have:
KP (32mpg) + Favors (24 mpg)
Maxi (20 mpg) / Powell (20 mpg)
Salary-wise KP makes a lot (29m in 2020) but the other guys are MLE level which isn't bad at all.
