A young player with high ceiling and a first round pick. Why would you trade him for a second round pick? And Powell, who will be well in his thirties, when OKC will be able to compete and will be difficult to move. Adams is loved in OKC and they are absolutely not pressured to sell. They will sell only if a good opportunity arrives. If not this season, than next, when he will be expiring.
Adams has been mentioned a lot in trade rumors over the years but I think it's mostly speculation. I also don't think the Mavs could get him but if OKC ever does a fire sale I'd at least want the Mavs to talk to OKC. Many pundits have acted like Adam's contract is terrible and untradable which I don't agree with. That being said if OKC does want to lower their salary commitments I would hope the Mavs make a call.
