If they don't make another move, I anticipate Holmes starting. If he is anything like he was before the Sacto shit show, then between Holmes, Maxi and Lively developmental minutes there won't anything left for Powell. Its possible he is our 4th center.
1. Well…the Mavs were willing to give up an unprotected pick swap to acquire Grant Williams. We don’t really know their appetite when it comes to giving up an asset for a center. We do know (if you believe Stein) that the Mavs are not happy with the current center rotation.
2. I agree with your second point. Right now, I think Holmes is the starter. I think Powell is back to play the JJ Barea role. He will be a mentor/culture guy and energy guy off the bench.
3. I think the following is the Mavs preferred rotation at center.
new guy 24 minutes
Holmes 10-12 minutes
Lively 10-12 minutes
Powell will probably get minutes as needed if Lively or Holmes look bad. Maxi sparingly at center if other team goes small.
4. Obviously you guys will be right if we can’t accomplish number 3 but I think there will be extreme disappointment in the organization.
