One addresses a gaping need in the front court.
One is an undersized scoring guard.
Seems like we didn't address the former....and already have plenty of the later.

Powell is 6'4"" - isn't that bigger than Dame or CJ and same size roughly as Trent? guy is a better overall and consistent scorer/shooter as well
 
Doesn't fill a need, but it upgrades a spot on the team(2 if little gets more run over hood), so overall, not bad. Adding Porter on buyout market would have me thinking it was a good deadline.

Powell is much better than Trent and I like Trent. And we couldn’t afford Trent. And everyone hated Hood. WTF are people complaining about

agree, Trent was likely gong to get paid and Por made its decision he wasn't coming back at the salary he is likely to get
 
Mikey likes it. Don't know much about Powell but just looking at the stats he looks better than Trent. Better rebounder. Get's fouled twice as often. Higher TS%. Turns it over a lot -- but hey we don't pass so that should go down! Better defensive BPM for that that's worth. And we got rid of Hood.
 
So.... let me get this straight....

Blazers draft Gary Trent and a few years later deal him to Toronto as part of a package for an undersized guard who will be a FA at year-end.....

23 years later.... we do the same again?

You can’t tell me history doesn’t repeat itself...
 
I said if we let Trent walk that I'd be pissed but if we just let Powell walk it will kind of be the same thing. This is better than nothing though and should free up PT for Nas.

Bird rights are more valuable than ever as like 80% of the league is projected to be over the cap this summer. Idk why we would pay Powell and not Trent though. Still, this is an upgrade and frees up minutes for Little..assuming no other moves.

Yep he turn a second round pick into an asset for upgrade. Bert is probably happy.
 
Keep in mind Powell can also play SF in case of injuries. He weighs more than Jones and Covington

Yup, but we did get a guy who can consistently make a three when you need it. Gary was hit and miss, Hoodie was mainly miss.

I would seriously think about starting him instead of DJ as we need a wing scorer and he can fill it up. If we are going to play small ball lets do it with a win that can not only score but defend. DJ imo, is an off the bench player.

I'm not angry about this either... Maybe a minor short-term upgrade?
