I think Powell is worth some number. That's true. But one much smaller.
He's a backup-caliber C (who are a dime a dozen) and useful in several ways, but very limited in what he offers. At C, Mavs need some combo of rebounding, shooting 3s, defending the middle and being a presence who deters, and DP offers none of that.
Good guy. Plus in community stuff. Good chemistry. But so overpaid. Cuban loves to give him outrageous deals (and then, of course, no money left to fill holes).
I'm hopeful it won't happen again, but do I trust Cuban to only offer him what he's worth? No.
