Holmes is putting up 14/8/1.5 this year as a full-time center. Powell's career-best year is 10/5/0.5 and he can't play full-time center as we've seen repeatedly.
Let´s play Dan´s favourite game: Agent power.
Duffy already directed
Vucevic to Chicago to pair him with Lavine. For a moment we ignore that Lavine has already decided he only wants to play for Dallas.
Richardson to Dallas to pair him with Luka.
Now we have his other client Myles Turner sitting out there.
Always involved in trade rumours, Dallas native, MFFL and arguably one of the few PF/C that you should be able to pair successful with Porzingis or play as a stand-alone C in case of a KP trade.
If it´s not Collins/Markkanen or the unlikely big solution (Lavine/Beal), he will be the Mavs primary (trade) target.
We have a good relationship with the Pacers. I´m sure the player will be up for it. Now the question becomes whether the Mavs can build an over the cap package that is attracive enough for the Pacers? Something around Kleber/Green maybe? Does Richardson have any value? What about a S&T for THJ element?
