If we don't perform well in the POs and are virtually bringing back the same team but 1 year older, I don't see that as very appealing when younger teams with more attractive situations are options.
Perhaps Parsons is more comfortable leading vets, and we can only hope he is, but we are fooling ourselves if we think Cuban has created an attractive situation/environment/culture for a young rising star to stick around.

It may hinge on whether we can lure another "star". Howard, Horford, Whiteside, Conley. Or someone in trade. Though that seems less likely given the cap space most teams will have, less salary dumps.
We should have room for Parsons, Max player X and most likely a point guard(Deron?)and backup Center with full taxpayers MLE and other exceptions.
Powell and Anderson back up 4 and 2/3 spots respectively.
Can we go over the cap to re-sign Powell?
