Yep
I think you have to turn around and flip KP for a playmaker if you want to invest close to $30 million a year on Holmes and Powell.
In a vacuum, I get that we can replace THJ and JRich with an $18 million dollar Norman Powell. But Powell makes THJ and Jrich look like Magic Johnson. Career average of 1.4 assists a game. Powell and DFS offer 0 playmaking.
Honestly, if I wasn't a Mavs fan, I would say this team is already not that fun to watch. It's the Luka show like the Harden Rockets. I would like to get a secondary guy that can do things with the ball like they did with Chris Paul. Also I hope that Luka is more concerned with winning than putting up Harden or Westbrook numbers. Lebron could average 35/10/10 isntead of 27/7/7 but he's learned that the playoffs are what it's about.
