IT all depends
As I mentioned earlier had they just went after Dinwiddie last summer and not THJ to that silly contract then you end up with Dinwiddie and KP at the same time.
Yes, we fixed one problem by adding the additional ball handler, but it led to another problem which inferior low post defense.
KP might not have lived up to expectations, but he was giving you a solid rim protector which is very important come playoff time.
I'm just not a believer in Powell and yesterday after seeing how DFS and Green both played more aggressive post defense on Sabonis than our 6'11 starting center was capable of doing that makes me worry even more when Jokic, Ayton or Gobert rolls into town.
What's done is done can't go back and change anything but in hindsight everyone on these boards to a certain extent would probably have preferred Dinwiddie to THJ last summer.
Here's to hoping Chriss gets healthy and earns Kidd's trust by playoff time because I have a feeling that Powell is going to get played off the floor again unless the Mavs luck into playing a team that doesn't rely on a legit big.
