In my view KP needs to be that outlet  in case of doubles.

Totally agree. Imo: Powell and WCS might work in some other systems, but in a situation where you have a PnR maestro Luka and KP that wants to be involved, the only solution for that is to put them in PnR together. Anything else will result in a subpar performance from one of them. So, if you want to play another center, he has to be able to spread the floor. Maxi is one, but he can't play 48 minutes, so you need another one. Or play small. It actually worked well in the second half until the meltdown in last four minutes.

As others have pointed out - the fact that Green doesn't get minutes with two thirds of guards injured, is really sad. Mavs should develop the few assets they have, not play the likes of Burke or Brown before them. 2020 draft and decisions afterwards were just horrible. Mavs really need to make that one good move soon.
