Could be used with assets (the rookies and/or picks) to trade for an overpriced player like Horford or an expiring contract like TJ Warren for example
I think there is a spread between turning salary matching pieces into James Johnson and turning them into real NBA starters like Warren and Horford. I think you can also make an argument that Wright (who is healthy) has more value around the league than post-injury Powell. I’ll reserve the right to be proven wrong, but I don’t see Powell/Burke being the foundation of anything that brings back value (and I like Powell).
