I like the 5-out offense but it´s not like the KP-Powell duo was any worse on offense.
I think this is way to similar to what Philly did with Horford. Back up center is not our biggest position of need. It is wing and perimeter defense and I think our money and (if needed) assets should go there. I would cover back up center with a younger guy with potential. Someone like Hartenstein or even a rookie.
Not sure. Favors is not as old (just turned 29) and will be on a smaller contract. Mavs also have better spacing and we have seen a succesful front court with KP and another bigman this season (Powell). Right now the Mavs only remaining bigman are Kleber (more of a small ball big) and Boban (great in some matchups, liability in others).
KP is great but injury-prone and probably needs to be load managed for the rest of his career. Powell is trying to come back from a career ending injury. I really don´t want the Mavs to end up a in situation where they have to rely on a young end of the bench guy like Hartenstein or a rookie in crucial games.
Agree that the Mavs obviously also need to upgrade the wing quality+depth.
