Because if you did, there is no more candid way for the coach to say what I've been saying for a while now about the type of players needed to fit into this teams system.
There's no way you can listen to that and think the Mavs would have remotely any interest in bringing in a bunch of the bigs we've identified as trade targets. If they can't shoot the 3 or aren't high level roll threats (basically be effective spending the majority of their time on offense standing on the 3 point line), there's no point talking about them (unless they can do what Boban does better, and are willing to play a similar bit part role).
I think I agree but not if you are saying Mavs shouldn't get Favors. Favors can play the same role Powell does but play better defense and rebound. Powell's defense is still a real problem. He got lit up again by Aldridge. I imagine Favors would have had more success making LA uncomfortable. Now to Powell's credit he lot up LA on the other end with several alley oops. Favors can roll to the basket as well. You can have both players. Mavs need more depth anyway. Powell would be much better suited off the bench where his defensive shortcomings are not exposed. Favors can still roll to the rim with Luka.
