I do not concur. 80% of Powell's prime self made a huge difference against Denver, imo.
I won't deny that Powell + a 2nd for expiring Reddick is a dream scenario, value wise, especially if the goal is to get off of Powell's money. You accomplish that and get a usable rental for your trouble. However, I still think Powell might be rounding into form enough to be counted among the three best bigs currently on the roster. And, it's a roster that NEEDS better bigs. This trade makes that situation worse, and adds a guy to the only positional group that doesn't cry out for warm bodies.
Maybe I'd be more into it if there was a separate deal for Aaron Gordon, as an example.
