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.
I think Maxi should play lower minutes than last year and KP shouldn´t play over 30 min either. I can see Brown or Bobi getting minutes here and there but that´s it for them.
If you trade Powell you bet on WCS playing starter minutes in a productive way every day.
I can see where you come from - 4 non-shooting bigs - but Bobi and Brown are kinda sharing a spot and keeping Powell might be better for Browns development.
If he even makes it trough the camp.
