Knicks, Miami, Thunder, Spurs, Dallas, Toronto, Hornets, Detroit.

Spurs already have a lot invested at the G spot with White, Walker, Vassell, Johnson
Dallas will most likely look to retain THjr
Toronto traded him away
Hornets have Rozier in place at this spot
Heat are a wild card, they have Hero in place, but can still look to throw some money at Powell, and keep Hero as a 6th man. Wouldn't put it past them, but they may look to go with small depth pieces preserving for the big fish.
Portland can retain him and probably look for a S&T for a draft pick. Which we can offer.

Thunder and Detroit are also the main comp from a pure fa signing route. Both of them will probably depend on where they are slotted to draft and who could be available for them at those slots. Casey coached Powel in the past so there are ties there with that if it breaks that way.

For the Knicks and Powell though. Seems like a strong match for what each are looking for. Powell will get paid, net 35mins a night fighting for 2nd option with RJ, NY will boost his profile. Knicks will get a G in his prime that can give the offense a much much needed boost.

Yes he would be a great option. Add him and a strong PG upgrade and this team is significantly better without sacrificing any assets.

He had Lillard, CJ and Lowry by his side this yr and both teams fell flat, IMO he's a just little better that Burks, but he's still to small to guard guys 6 6" and up.

If we are looking at Portland players, outside of Dame, Covington is a player I would go after.

He will cost twice as much as Burks. Powell doesn't provide the size we need at SF

I think Barrett becomes the SF in this scenario.

Keep in mind he has a 6’11 wing span. He’s probably “bigger” than most 6’7 forwards.

He would(RJ). Powell can create his own shot. Has been playing in the playoffs since 2016. For his apparent lack of size he shoots high %

He may cost 20 million a year for a modest upgrade over Burks / Bullock. Not a bad player but I'm not sure he makes us that much better for the increase in cost

Barrett loses a lot of his defensive value at SF. He goes from being bigger and stronger than the majority of SG's to being at best middle of the road.

Again the market isn’t strong for Powell given his options. Knicks have 60+mil in cap and don’t have any long term contract commitments. There is also no rush to extend Randle or Mitch until sometime next season if that’s what they decide. Cap flexibility isn’t a problem here. He does not negate Knicks from pursuing elite level star talent if those options presented themselves.

At the same ages neither Bullock or Burks have ever produced like Powell nor have his playoff experience. Which is why they were journeymen signing cheap deals when Knicks got them. And he will be high valued FA target.

He scores putting up 48-40-88 type % at 18-19ppg. This is efficient production that someone like Thibs can really use.

RJ doesn’t have strong handle and isn’t a super athlete. He also will only get bigger as he gets older given his frame at now 20yrs old going into 21. Which is why his developed 3pt shot has been so crucial. The value of adding an efficient scoring SG to pair with hold higher value that him playing with lesser talent in order to keep him at SG. Where as Young exposed. A team can just put the smaller player on Bullock and have the bigger wing defend RJ anyway.

Wingspan is actually a really underrated metric in today’s nba.
