Is there still a possibility that Dwight Powell is brought back?
I know we now have Richaun Holmes in the center rotation but I don't think he is the answer. I think Powell is a vastly superior player to Richaun Holmes- better defensively and a better finisher on offense. He has his flaws but his advanced stats are pretty good and I think he is a winning rotation player. I also think a high-character player like Powell is probably an asset on a team with some young, developing players.
If we target a wing like Bruce Brown for our MLE or taxpayer MLE then I don't see how we can upgrade our center rotation. In fact, losing Dwight Powell and Christian Wood would leave our center position much worse this coming season.
I think we could do much worse than to bring back Powell on a 2-year deal.
We could then look to make a trade closer to the deadline this coming season or next off-season to upgrade at the 5.
