MAVS NEWS: Luka Is Hurt, But is Trudging On | DLive's Mom Passes Away| Maxi OUT

Not unrealistic.  I'd like to see him hit free agency out of morbid curiosity to see if any other GM values him above veteran minimum status.  Not that it means anything, but I watch a lot of away game broadcasts and most booths are very complimentary of Powell.

My guess is that he gets the MLE on the open market, but I'd be less surprised to learn that he got higher offers than I would be if he had to sign for the minimum. Like you say, I'd find it fascinating to watch.

But the good news is that if there was ever a guy loyal enough and smart enough to know it's in his best interest to return, even at a discount, I bet Powell is that guy. I hope it works out that way. He shouldn't be a starter, but you can do SO MUCH WORSE as a 4th big (3rd center). Hell, you can do worse as a straight backup center, tbh.
