2021-2022 MAVS NEWS: 4th in West | WCF loss [ARCHIVED]

[mvossman]

I think the overarching scenario is they move the dead weight, and clear the log jam at the center position. 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 think its both clearing up the logjam at center, and more importantly getting an actual point guard.  I think the intent was (and maybe still is) to handle this with a Dragic trade.  If that trade does not play out, or next best option is probably DSJ.

LM may be a better talent than Maxi, but he is a much worse fit, and if we are sending Maxi out so we can pay LM 15, I am totally out.

WCS is mostly useless on offense, but he can defend his position.
