It's criminal that we don't have more bigs depth when we know KP is likely a 65 game type player more often that not. I like Maxi a lot in his spot but I think the big problem there is who is off the bench if Powell and Maxi are both starting and KP is out? We know the answer is literally nobody. If we had a big or two of some quality then you have the option to start Maxi and Powell together which I think is pretty good replacement for KP in that Maxi effectively does the same things KP does on both ends.
I would say rim roller types are generally easier to find so that probably could be solved any number of ways. It's even possible you find a rim roller that's better overall than Powell which moves Powell to the bench.
Finding another stretch big is more of an issue but maybe not. If you did swing a trade for Covington it gives you more flexibility. Covington and DFS can both play PF so you can play them together or have 1 guy off the bench. Right now you have Jackson who is really a part-time player as sort of a SF/PF and isn't going to help you win a lot of games. You have Boban who we know is a bit player. Mavs have to fix this problem. KP sitting isn't the end of the world, I would argue that Mavs could get to a place where they are still winning some of these games like Nuggets by a comfortable margin instead of losing by 1 point if they have more depth at PF/C.
