Maybe I am just seeing what I want to see. But I bet he's gone, if they find a replacement. Powell has reached his expiration date, with his play in the playoffs. And the Mavs have shown the willingness to bite the bullet when "great guy" doesn't fit in their plans.
While we see only his flaws, some other team is likely to look at the combo of "great guy" and 70% FG pct and on-court hustle and energy and see him as a plus, I think.
Barnes was traded to SAC. Great guy. Many positives. But when he no longer was in their plans, whoosh, off you go.
