We gave up two 2nd round picks to get rid of Wright, who has more legs and less years. The only way to get rid of Powell is to salary match a long-term deal like Love, Blake or Westbrook, if you are into injury-prone or/and washed-up performers on big deals.
I would say that at this point Powell has a very similar negative value as Wright contract. Wright had 2 seasons left on his deal, Powell will have 2.5 at TDL. He is only one year older than Wright, basically same age.
From San Antonio perspective - can they hope to get a deal Indy got for Oladipo? Similar value player on a longer contract? Kind of doubt it. It also doesn't really make sense that a non contender trades for half a year rental of DeRozan. So their options are limited to contenders. Which of them has 28 mil of salary to match that is better than Powell? Is Gary Harris type of contract so much better value for a rebuilding team San Antonio has to become at one point?
In my idea, they would get a young player and FRP for half a year rental and additional two years of Powell. I think it is borderline fair value. Throw in a second of two if you think they need more.
