I'd be all for trading Powell, but I don't see a team willingly picking him up without at least a FRP attached to him, unless Nico is a master negotiator.
I think we got to view this offseason as turning starter THJ into a more talented/better fitting player (I.E Conley, Lowry, DeRozan). And also adding more depth at the wing/PF position with someone that can create his own shot (i.e Kawhi, John Collins, Oubre).
Another name I don't seen thrown around a lot: Nemanja Bjelicia. A little older, but can hit the 3 very well and his best asset is being able to create. I can see him as a worse Joe Ingles for the Mavs. Would be a solid Kleber replacement too.
VP mentioned Kleber, hence my post. I guess to Utah? But not sure if he had exact information, or he was just guessing.
