I am desperate to see a commitment to this pairing for at least 10 games or so (unless KP gets traded before there's time for that). I remember Kidd saying they were going to get around to trying this after WCS got his shot in the starting lineup, and then the covid stuff happened.
I really think it's the best way to go with the current roster on both sides of the ball. Powell as a 3rd big (who in theory can spell either of them off of the bench) is great, imo. The only problem, I guess, is that on nights in the regular season when you want to use 4 bigs (I don't believe the rotation will go that far in the playoffs) the inevitable minutes during which Powell and either MBrown or Chriss (hopefully Chriss) don't seem super ideal.
