There's some belief that Powell would be open to a new destination. Negotiations over his five-year deal to re-sign in Portland this summer hit several snags, according to league sources, and Powell certainly eyed other destinations, such as New Orleans. The Pelicans do happen to be searching for significant upgrades in their quest to rebound into the play-in tournament, sources said, although McCollum would seem to make more sense as a target for New Orleans.

This concerns me. Taking someone like Powell into the trade exception is fine. Paying assets to trade for a player to make the Play In in a year where making the playoffs cost you a 1st is stupid.

If he were on the Pelicans. He would absolutely be considered a bust. He's averaging 2.5 rebounds and 1 assist a game. I mean I guess I could get excited about his offense because he makes .4 more 3's a game than Garret Temple. Woo hoo.

Man if he's part of your big 3 then that team is in major trouble. Posted on 1/13/22 at 12:13 pm to eyeran
Powell would be better long term for this team than CJ, is younger and on a far better contract.
I would send pretty much anything Portland wants pick wise.

No one wanted to trade for Reddish because he is not good enough to warrant the monster contract he is about to demand.

With Powell’s new contract, that’s an overpay. I think we’d offer to let them dump him into out TPE for free.
His contract is better than Fournier’s…if you think it won’t cost that much, he would provide a much needed spark for bench scoring.

NAW and Jaxson are the most likely guys, but do they have any value? Same with Kira and his ACL.

He's on a 5 year deal deal. If they make a trade for him, then it's much more than making moves to make the play in. They would have to believe that he is going to be a core player for the next couple of years.

Please god don’t let Griffin cripple us any further to try and save his job. Just let the young guys play and grow, and the dysfunction of the roster construction and injuries will take care of the rest. Get a top tier player in this draft, look to improve next year, and compete in 2023 and beyond.
We’ve been handed a gift, don’t overthink this

quote:How is his contract better? He has double the guaranteed contract remaining than Fournier ($74 million versus $37 million). I would like Powell if they are looking to unload a contract into our TPE for a player and/or a heavily protected 1st. However, not sure I would give them whatever they want in the way of picks. If we still had Ball, he would be a nice fit. However, next to Graham, it would be a small backcourt.

I like Powell but would rather a PG
Keep Josh at the 2 and have Graham as the sixth man

I disagree. I think Powell as a player is a much better fit for the Pels than Fournier, but Fournier’s contract is a better fit for the Pels than Powell’s. I’ve argued for taking on some money in salary dumps to get players and rehab their value, but Id target guys that clear after 23/24. I don’t know if I’d want to take on salary all the way out to 2025 and pay 33 year old Norm Powell 20 million. But if the offer is a free dump into our TPE, I’d definitely consider it. Any real assets would be a hard no

I like Graham, but he can also be someone that can be unloaded after a while as well. I’d much prefer to keep Hart and Powell than Graham.
If you can find a way to bring Powell in without giving too much, then you should include Graham, young players, and future picks for someone like Fox or Simmons that could be on the move if you can make it happen.

Are there any PGs that could fit into the TPE?

There’s a lot, but as far as realistic targets with more than one year remaining (not that I am advocating for any):
Marcus Smart
Delon Wright
TJ McConnell
Colby White
Tyus Jones
Reggie Jackson
DJ Augustin
Cam Payne
Kemba Walker
Sexton
…SGA…
The problem is, if the player is useful and has a small enough contract to fit into our TPE, I don’t know why a contending team wouldn’t just outbid us. That’s why I suggested targeting guys that have been recently overpaid and the team’s have buyer’s remorse after their year hasn’t started the way they planned.

I would think 2 2nds and NAW for Powell would work just fine.
They aren't going to just dump him for nothing. There's nothing bad about his contract, and he's a wing with good defense in the prime of his career averaging 18ppg on 40.5% from 3 the last 3 years. They aren't going to just dump him.

Yea Powell is 6'3" but he is by no means small. He has a 6'11" wingspan and weighs 215lbs. That's not a small guard.
