Powell is a very positive presence. Obviously he showed progress and earned respect. Neither of WCS former teams thought that way about him.So there's an excuse? WCS has excuses too! We all know what excuses are like. He showed progress? After 3 years of force feeding him coaching and minutes? DP had an upset owner at how the trade he forced worked out going for him, that is most of it.

"Based on how things have gone for him there in Sacramento, I just think it's time for Willie to move on and we'd really like him to move on." That coin has another side.

And we are speaking about GSW, who had Bogut, McGee and Bogut again as their centers in last I don't know how many seasons.Right, they don't think much of the C position so when they decide they are tanking and the Mavs call offering a 2nd for a C on their roster, they have no problem saying yes.
