He isn't "that" expensive any more.
 
I wanted him here a long time, but he was never a fit 'til now.
He's also the nice guy with the mean strike we need.

Well his salary the next two years is at that 17 mil-ish number which is still starter money. I think Mavs have no interest in pairing KP with a traditional center so Adams would be the 6th man big. To match salaries anyway you would need to send out Powell anyway bc his salary is stil 27 mil this season. 

I actually like trade on paper of JJ + Powell for Adams. Powell is a better fit on the Pels and Adams to me is a better fit here. He gives you rim rolling, defense and shot blocking. He would only 6 mil-ish to next year's salary when you account for Powell's money being off the books.

I would rather have Adams than the collection of WCS, Powell and Boban. Mavs would just need another backup for depth at that point in case of injury.
