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

[DanSchwartzgan]

I think so, but it is fluid.   Mavs appear to be still looking at a center.    If they can't move McGee is might be tough to bring back Powell.  I would greatly prefer Powell over McGee.   Powell has played big games.   I think he is perfect for a guy just outside of the normal rotation, but capable of playing 25 minutes when called due to injury or foul trouble.   He may have bigger plans though.  

Powell will have some say too obviously.  He may not want to sign where he is the 3rd big (maybe 4th if you count Maxi).   He may also get a higher offer somewhere else.

I think fluid is a good way to put it.  Depends on how many other centers are on the roster besides Lively.  Given who we've supposedly had interest in, the debate between them looking at Maxi as a five or a four seems to land with Maxi as a four (since there have been so many starting center rumors).

I did find it interesting that Powell has been listed as someone this or that team is interested in.  That, to me, smacks of an agent who is concerned Powell doesn't have a home locked down in Dallas.
