Yeah but New Orleans has solid big's on their roster.
The Mavs continue to roll into the playoffs year after year with Powell and his 11 million contract.
You can legitimately say that all 3 Phoenix big's (Ayton, McGee and Bismark) are all better than Powell.
Let that sink in for a minute.
Watching this game up close Dallas needs to really consider benching Powell and going with Chriss or Boban even if that means they play some change up zone defense.
The Suns don't respect the Mavs perimeter players at all so they basically have the attitude of let Luka get his but shutdown everyone else.
If I'm Dallas I'm on phone with Indiana this summer offering a some kind of package of Brunson, Dinwiddie, THJ, Powell and Kleber for that Turner/Brogdon combination.
We've seen enough at this point to realize the Mavs smaller guards just can't produce vs long wing players.
The Clippers basically proved that every time they play Dallas.
As much as some fans love JB and rightfully so they should still realize that guys like Brogdon or Lavine would better suited to be a 2nd option next to Luka.
