If you keep Powell, then you at least have his salary for matching if/when the opportunity comes to trade for someone closer to the 3rd star classification. I keep thinking about all the in-season movement this year. Hardin, Westbrook, Holliday, Aaron Gordon, to name a few. There will be opportunities next year as well that DAL could take advantage of better than this season with tradeable assets rather than dry powder.
Some of the KP trades would put DAL back to looking for the 2nd star all over again.
I am with you on this. I don't doubt Mavs will try for a big move but they will probably see that isn't going to materialize. The next best thing is trying to add assets that help now and can be traded in the future.
