I don't really think the Mavs had an issue with rebounding though. Yes offensive rebounds were a killer against GSW, but I don't think they were a primary reason why the team lost.
I think FGump put it well and said the team ran out of gas. Having an elite offensive scorer can help that issue.
But to your point, that's why I'm still interested in a bully-ball type center that can play spot minutes. Powell isn't that. I don't know if there is a guy on the market that can do that and be in budget. Maybe Dwight Howard but cow did bring up (correctly imo) how he's looked like a shell of his former self this last season.
Wood has a 31.7 round rating last year. That puts him among the elite and at least 6 above any of our bigs last year.
