If Drummond played more like Powell then yeah. Mavs were a lethal team with KP/Powell frontcourt even if the defense was subpar. They outscored other teams by a tune of 12 points with that lineup.
But I don't seriously think the Mavs would play both of them together, which isn't the point in getting him. Drummond off the bench would instantly fix our big man issues. He can score 8-12 points a night, every night, whilst grabbing 10-12 rebounds in his 20-25 minutes a night. He'd be a better option than both Powell and WCS.
THATS the attractiveness of adding Drummond. The only hangup is I don't think Drummond is clamoring to come here on a discount to play a bench role on a non-superteam. But we get around that with a trade I suppose.
