In my mind, there may be a possibility (again, if this is the set roster) that Nico could be looking at the roster building this way. 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...


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.

So you’re correct. Even this isn’t a done deal. 

I’m just not seeing an alternative on the roster. That’s why I made my post yesterday about how they view Green. I suppose it’s conceivable that they are EXPECTING Green (or Nitilikina, or Hardy, or Dorsey) to be a top 8-9 type guy. This would feel unwise to me, but they know more about those players and their progress than I do.

From a skins-on-the-wall angle, from a salary angle and from a locker room angle, Powell would seem to be squarely ahead of those guys to me. I just have a hard time seeing them treat him like they treated Boban.
