And my response would be “so...”

They aren’t going to S/W him and his salary makes him untradeable for at least another year.  But, that doesn’t make him a “3rd string center”.  Also, if KP is playing big minutes, there isn’t a “serious contributor in extensive minutes” role to be had.  

Bottom line, we can complain about Powell’s salary, but it isn’t going to change anything.  Or, we can realize he’s become quite productive in the limited role he has and move on.  Unless someone has a magic wand I don’t know about, I don’t see the benefit of using the words “trade Powell” together in a sentence as the least bit helpful to off-season strategy discussions.  Very little of that was directed at you BTW.

Love what I'm seeing from DP post All-star. Has his limitations on interior defense and defensive rebounding, but the energy and efficiency on offense is absolutely noticeable. KP, Maxi, Melli, DP gives us some interesting skillsets going forward.

DP is our biggest salary filler at the moment (not counting improbable S&T situations) and his value is increasing game-by-game to a point where he'll actually be a neutral contract by next year's TDL. If DEN could fetch AG for 1.5 years of Harris, a 1st and Hampton, I wonder if Dallas could fetch the same type of player (starter caliber) with DP, Green and a 1st. Maybe worth keeping him around for matching contracts.
