Going back to the Collins idea, Assuming we traded Maxi in the deal, we'd only have enough cap space for THJ left. If we can't find a good trade for KP, how about this?
T-WOLVES GET
Powell
Burke
MAVS GET
Rubio
The Wolves get a good culture guy who would fit well with Towns- the Mavs could point to the Dwight/KP numbers from 2020. The Mavs get someone who can run the bench squad and let Brunson play SG.
Luka / Rubio
THJ / Brunson
DFS / Green
Collins / Bey
KP / WCS
Rubio would also be a very large expiring who could potentially be packaged with KP in a trade deadline deal.
So to sum up the Wolves take on more long-term money and get far worse players in the deal, because Powell is a veteran leader? Leader of what, where and whom?
Ricky Rubio just LED the Spanish national team to a World Championship Gold medal in 2019, earning tournament and finals MVP. Besides being a much better basketball player, I´d say he also qualifies as a much better leader.
The Wolves also have Naz Reid, who already contrubutes on a higher level than Powell at age 21 on a minimum contract.
