Dwight Powell will become an unrestricted free agent after this season, and the Dallas Mavericks have a heartbreaking decision to make with him and his future.
He has been with the team since 2014 and played in 725 games as a Maverick, but Dallas may be forced to get rid of him this summer. Powell is 34 years old, and he isn't providing the same on-court impact that he once did.
The Mavericks are also entering a new era and building entirely around Cooper Flagg, and Powell does not match that timeline. Dallas needs to focus on finding young building blocks to add around Flagg, and while Powell is one of the more beloved Mavericks from this recent era, his ship has sailed.
