You don't have to buy it, but I think it's spot on that Powell would offer ORL a solid upgrade over Aminu. That's not meant as high praise for DP. There is reason to think Powell will be much better going forward. But the main reason I think that is that Aminu is so horrendous that he's basically unplayable. (Aminu is a -21 off/def rating at B-Ref. His offense is a major drain because he just can't put the ball in the basket.)
Now whether ORL would be interested in Powell, who knows. I'm just riding along with the report that the core of a Dallas offer for Gordon was Powell. Take Aminu out of the equation if you wish.
