And it didn't make any sense to me to let McGee go and re-sign Powell to basically take his spot.
We are damn lucky Lively developed into a legit starting center so quickly otherwise Powell would have been our starter again.

Nico has made some decent moves, but re-signing Powell is a major head-scratcher.

Honest question: what better center did you expect at 4mill?
