If that's true, then maybe my assessment of him so far has been incorrect. It's very possible. 

So let me reiterate this part: if he's a 3, then I'd rather just keep DFS, who is on a great contract and can give you similar contributions (3&D only) at that position, and who you already know fits in.

Not necessarily the wrong view, but then the question remains, what to do with THJ/Powell?


It seems clear to me that the Mavs once again have tons of depth, but depth only matters so much in the playoffs once you get past the 8th guy. The ideal would be to consolidate that depth into better starters, and especially two-way players. I view OPJ as a guy who can kind of give us the good parts of THJ/DFS without their weaker parts, so it seems like a good trade to me. I understand the value of DFS' contract, and I wouldn't have been willing to give him up before this offseason, but with the Mavs adding guys like Green, Hinton, Iwundu, Bey, etc. I think he could be more valuable as a trading piece.
