Powell is obviously worth more than McGee and I would not have an issue paying the tax MLE for him. I just think 11 is a little steep.
I don’t disagree with any of this, really, but I might push back at those claiming his minutes got cut because he was “unplayable”.
I think that the majority of what went into that decision, rather than him playing worse than normal, was the realization that 5-out was the best way to attack Gobert and Ayton. Especially Gobert.
