You don't have to trust the Mavs assessment of Manimal. Every other team in the league prefers his butt on his couch instead of their bench.
Are we sure those teams would be lining up to pay Powell if he was on the street?

Yeah if only we had someone who was one of the best overall defenders in the league, was 90th percentile PnR rollman, and to top it all off was shooting 40% from 3.
Ya I don't understand why he doesn't start but he will close games sometimes. He is kind of a co-starter with Powell when you look at mpg.
@"cow" my point isn't that Faried is worth 40 mil, it's that Powell is more towards a cheaper rotation big than he is a starter. Btw if Faried isn't injured I'd love for the Mavs to put him on their bench, he would be more useful than Boban most nights.
