There is nothing that I saw with Kidd (starting with him not really wanting to name Powell the starting C at the beginning of the season and letting the player's leadership group decide instead) that makes me think he wants to play Powell other than in emergency. Wait, maybe Cuban will force his will on Kidd in that regard...
I’m 99% sure the majority of folks arguing with @"mvossman", @"dirkfansince1998" and myself simply haven’t thought through the future implications of what we’re seeing enough to realize how mad they could potentially be when this plays out.
@"DanSchwartzgan" gets it, I think. With the information available at this time concerning roster balance, they’re setting themselves up for their DEFAULT to be a 4-big rotation (wood, McGee, Kleber AND Powell). This might NOT be the end of Powell, as most are assuming. I believe this is what Dan has been hoping they’d do, that’s the difference. I think it’s the worst possible direction they could’ve chosen.
Still time to turn Powell/Green into a rotation-worthy non-center, so I’ll keep hoping.
IF Wood and Powell are played during the same game, I'm right there with you. That is a horrible, horrible plan. I really just see no way that Kidd could possibly think that will help him win games.
