Anything that doesn't accomplish those things is an offseason failure. That doesn't mean moving Maxi, but it certainly means moving Powell and possibly WCS since neither can defend their position and are both semi useless offensively. That being said, I think Markkanen is a better talent than Kleber and younger and he's not ready for that role yet, but he's certainly better than Powell.
I agree that thinning out the 5 spot should be a goal.
I agree that it's possible to move Powell and/or WCS (and would've been possible to simply let Boban seek mascot employment elsewhere, but oh well).
I do not agree that they'll move Powell in such a way that brings in a return of even a marginally useful player, let alone a moderately useful player like Markannen. I think the Powell/WCS and Markannen conversations are probably best had separately.
