Would Chicago do Johnson, Powell and Terry for Porter?  Johnson is an expiring.  Powell is essentially a locker room guy and salary cap filler.  Terry is a young asset.

They...MIGHT. It's an interesting deal, and one of the more realistic ones you come across around here, imo.

From the Mavs' perspective, if it works, you're better. If not, you get out from under Powell's contract. However, and I'm typing this with a straight face, I legitimately believe there's a possibility that Powell is the best player in that deal a year from now. 

I think Chicago would jump on the deal if OPJ had another year or two on that terrible contract, but he's expiring. For them to pull the trigger, I'd think they'd need to really like Powell and Terry.
