WITH THE ROSTER IN ITS CURRENT STATE, both McGee and Powell are in their top 9, so both will get played. If not, there is no way they can exist without DEPENDING on one of Green, Ntilikina, Hardy or whomever mystery guest #15 is. Let’s say Dorsey for holding the place.
And, they CERTAINLY can’t get away with not player EITHER McGee or Powell, no matter how much they might want to. At least one of them, and probably both, are going to see the floor, imho.
…without some sort of additional roster shakeup. I’m going to keep praying.
There are nights when Powell is effective. He had a stretch towards the end of the season where he looked worthy of his contract. He can be played off the floor. Most of our rotation can, but we have different pieces now that will help us counter those situations.
Preaching "roster balance" is all well and good but the MBT fucked up with JB. Our cap situation is only going to allow for so many moves and the Mavs took what was available to them in McGee rather than waiting and missing out on a chair when the music stopped. JB or not, there was very little room for us to have major upgrades to this team. With him gone and downgraded that aspect of the team, we just need to try to get by until another opportunity presents itself.
I don't think anyone is over the moon about this offseason, but it is what it is. We just have to barrel scrape and why the notion of scoffing at someone like Schroder is an arrogance this team shouldn't have.
