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

You have more confidence and belief in Powell than even the Mavs do, if the rumors are to be believed.

Not really.

They wanted to improve over him. I would’ve, too.

After some time in the market, they assessed that getting him back at a reduced rate was a boon, relative to the alternatives (like Drummond). I would’ve, too.

They are still looking at ways to get clear cut difference makers like Capela, but without losing their ass in the process. I would be doing that, too. This means that they don’t think Holmes is a solution that definitively solves the short term problem. I don’t, either.

They value Powell’s presence in the locker room and ability to show Lively how to be a world-class pick and roll big enough to commit for three years. I would’ve, too. 

I really don’t get how any of this is controversial. The second they re-signed the guy it was a signal that they were moving on to plan B, C, F…whatever. 

Now, he’s here. I can understand how those who are misguided enough to think he’s a terrible player might assume other players are better, but it seems like people are suggesting that it’s in some way beneficial not to play him even if he’s the best choice. That seems bananas to me.
