Also sadly Maxi has been a huge problem this season, but he still has a good reputation around the league as an impactful defender, when healthy. Question is whether he´ll ever be healthy again.
I think if the Mavs use their 2027 1st round pick it will be with Maxi/Holmes not THJ.
Finally we agree on something (what we'll pair the 2027 pick with if traded).
That 114.8 is still better than the team's overall D-Rating and Dallas is once again positive in the Powell minutes this season (7th season in a row). You mentioned last season earlier. No other center (Wood -1.3, Maxi -2.8, McGee -7.4) could say that. I don't know why people insist on taking shots at Powell. It is constant and the reason other people feel compelled to defend him. If we win the minutes he plays, it's a good thing. Thank God we finally have another center whose minutes we also win.
