In the Lakers case, they would throw him out there just because he signed with LeBron's management company.

Nobody was worried about how unfair it was that KP was getting starters minutes as he was rounding himself into shape coming back for injury.  This happens in the NBA all the time.    Mavs fans just hate Powell.  They hated him before the injury.    And it's not like Powell is going to get 35 minutes a game while Maxi is going to get 15.  They're really not going to play that much difference in minutes.    Powell is just going to play a lot with Luka because they have elite PnR mindmeld IQ partnership.

You're very right on the LeBron comment. He runs the Lakers. I don't think you can compare DP to KP. KP has been a All Star and is a borderline all NBA 3rd team player when healthy based on what he showed after he really got going. Franchise players are almost always handed the keys and allowed to work their way back. Role players are not. IMO I don't think the 2 situations are relatable.
