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.
Who are all of these vet min guys that get you 15-18 quality minutes off the bench? The Mavs spend exception money on guys that don't get close to that. Maybe with Kyrie we will start to attract quality vet min guys, but it has never been the norm.
Powell currently has the highest net rating on the team. There is a lot of noise in that, but his production has been well over vet min. You can make a strong argument that it's not MLE level, especially since he is a big and they are cheap, but he is significantly more than your typical vet min.
