I think Powell looks fine to me, especially now off the bench. He isn't 100% but based on what I see now I expect him to look pretty close to that next season. You see that KD and Wall (both very athletic) look great 2 years removed from their achilles injuries. My issue with Powell is that he's not a starter and finally Rick has him in the spot he should have always been in, off the bench. Ya he gets paid too much but its not a big deal.
The lineup when everyone is back is a contending lineup:
Luka, Rich, DFS, Maxi, KP. I wanted Maxi so bad last year to play next to KP and now I think that's likely to finally happen.
That means your main subs are Brunson, Burke, THJ, Powell, Johnson, & WCS. I am great with that. The 3 bench bigs will have to fight for minutes. I think there's a good chance Johnson and/or THJ are moved at the TDL for something (but who knows?).
This is a team that if healthy (and w/Covid that's a major ?) can contend for a top 4 spot and get past the first round.
