2019-2020 Mavs Trade Discussion + Salary Chart

[Fuerza1]

Re: WCS: why the Mavs engage in their half-decade-long love affair with weak/can't rebound/can't defend the rim/not enough length Powell just because he can set picks and rim-roll and is great in the locker room, and then can't find minutes for a guy who may not be such a great locker room presence but can do all of the things that Powell can't and is serviceable in what he can, I just can't fathom. After a while, enough of this crap is enough. The problem isn't that Willie can't shoot threes, because Powell can't either. And the problem isn't Donnie - he traded for WCS. Guess who's the problem. That's right - the guy I've spent the past decade defending. If WCS doesn't get minutes - and zero DNP-CDs - the rest of the way, I will be at the head of the pitchfork mob.

IN MY OPINION (KEY WORD: OPINION) Carlisle is still trying to justify (too late for that) the Powell contract; his fingerprints are all over that premature $33M extension. 

We wrote guys off like McGee, Noel, etc. for dead because we believed in Carlisle. But those guys are better two way players at a fraction of the cost for superior playoff teams.

Now some are saying WCS just isn't that good; hello, deja vu. WCS was a starting big for a near playoff team a year ago. Mavs have much better talent around him than he had last season in SAC. He has a skillset that fits this offensive system. The guy can freakin' play!

Inexcusable Powell can play 27 mpg and WCS can't even see half of that per night. Watch WCS sign with a team like BOS this summer and provide quality minutes.
