I would target the following:
- Fournier as THJ replacement. He is an excellent shooter who suffers in Orlando as he is the only one on the team who can shoot so whole defense is on him. He would thrive next to Doncic.
- Bogdanovic as THJ replacement (SnT)
- Covington as DFS replacement
Totally agree. There are not many guys. Closest I can think of and could be theoretically available is Capella. I think he can play honest defense on perimeter, the rest we know he is excellent at. Powells role on offense is larger than his stats. Because he is such an elite rim runner, defense can't afford to leave the paint empty which provides open looks for shooters. Of course Powell is bad on defense. But I really can't think of a guy who would provide such elite rim running as he does.
The alternative would be for KP to take Powels role as rim runner on offense. I think he is capable. This would enable to go for a strong 4 or 5 that can stretch the floor, can switch on perimeter and stay honest against strong men in the paint. Perhaps Turner? Morris? Olynik?

Definitely would love one of those guys, but honestly I don't even know who that is. Anthony Davis?
In his last 5 games Powell has shot 3 for 4, 2 for 3, 2 for 2, 9 for 9, 3 for 3. He's doing his job, it's just not a large role on this team. If anything, the Mavs might be overallocated to the center position already.
