I hate to be that guy but Boban could easily get you a few buckets and rebounds in 8-10 minutes per game and his defense can't b any worse than Powell's defense.
Hell you could essentially have Josh Green playing small ball center and wouldn't do any worse than Powell at this point. But your center would be able to dribble and pass (green) as opposed to the other center being limited in every aspect of the game beyond setting a few picks.
How a guy can make 11 million a year and not have any skills helpful for the team is mind boggling. But he's a locker room leader so I guess that justifies the contract

I get what you're saying. I used to bang the drum for Boban minutes all the time last year. People act like crying for Boban to play over Powell means starting him and playing him 32+ minutes per game. LOL
7'4" is a deterrent in the lane. You can't teach size. The mavs could easily play 6-10 minutes of zone throughout the game to throw a different look at the Suns. Anybody who watched Powell in the 3rd quarter last night and doesn't think that Boban could deliver more is smoking some very good crack. heh
