John Collins...Our Third Star

[DanSchwartzgan]

Right so anything is possible, I just don't see it. For Grant, he wanted a bigger role in the offense which he could get in Detroit. For Powell he's not going to really get anything different in Dallas than he would get in Portland (money, role, etc.). So it would really be him just deciding he wants to play in Dallas instead of Portland. The only thing I guess I could say is if he thinks he will get more touches in Dallas than Portland given that Dallas doesn't have another guard outside of Luka in the starting lineup to compete with (assuming THJ is gone).

I think that is meaningful.  In Portland, he's the third wing in a system where one and two are well entrenched.  Here, he'll get incredibly open looks off the ball, but there will be opportunities to be the PnR ball handler as well.  He's a very good points producer in that situation this season.  I think he would get more of those opportunities here than he does in Portland.  In fact, he'd be our McCollum instead of their Powell.

I guess I've hijacked my own thread...
