As I see it, we have 4 bigs getting minutes KP, Maxi, Powell and WCS and Bobi for special occasions. Brown will eat into Bobis and WCS minutes at best. DFS might get some time at the 4.
As we will load manage KP this seems totally reasonable.
I would like to get a playmaker as dire as you, but he must be a safer upgrade than a washed and constanly injured Gordon, to part with Powell.
It all depends on a role you see a player in. If Powell will be used as "much" as he was last season, he is totally expendable and I rather move him and give his minutes to WCS and Brown. As we have it now, one center is totally redundant and I rather commit 10 mpg to a prospect than "nothing special vet". As long as Mavs are clearly not committed to win now, they should at least develop a prospect. Powell might be better now but the difference in quality between him and Brown is not the difference which would bring Mavs into a contender. Developed Brown might be way more important a couple of seasons from now.
If you think Powell will be a starter, than I agree a trade for Gordon doesn't make sense. But I don't see him in that role. I believe Luka should be surrounded by shooters, all four of them.
