ROSTER TALK: Mavs favs for Vogel if no HC job exists. Kyrie handshake deal?

[ItsGoTime]

These last two years Powell has proven to be a pretty invaluable role player. His deficiencies are well noted and he falls a bit short of being a proper starter, but his chemistry with Luka, ability to keep up on the perimeter, and willingness to do the dirty work EVERY night makes him worth way more than the vet min.
If McGee is getting 5 mil a year, Powell should be making at least that. 

Don't misread me. My endorsement for a Powell extension isn't because I have morphed into Mak and drank from the Diamond fountain. I don't think he should be getting more than 15-18mpg, and even if Powell is here for the long term  the Mavs still need to find a long term starting 5.

Powell has shown he works with Luka very well, and we shouldn't take that for granted.

Dude, do you realize you just described an older vet min player? Off the bench for 15-18 mpg? That’s also without talking about age. I have no problem with Powell being on the team in that role, but for the money you guys are talking about? Also, overpaying him so we have salary matching in a trade? I really can’t believe what I’m reading.

I think he’s worth more, easily. 

I mean, he is no JaVale McGee, but…

Javale was paid what he was paid because they thought he was better than Powell. That’s literally all that should be said about what they think Powell’s worth is.
