Mavericks waive Powell, likely ending his 12-year run since Rondo trade
The Dallas Mavericks have waived longtime center Dwight Powell, likely ending his 12-year run with the franchise after he was the secondary piece in a trade that brought Rajon Rondo from Boston. Powell was a late add just as training camp started last month, raising the possibility of a 13th season with the Mavericks. Dallas already had the full allotment of 15 guaranteed contracts. Keeping Powell would have forced the team to release one of those players.
The 35-year-old Powell has played all but five of his 768 games with Dallas. He has averaged 6.5 points and 4.2 rebounds per game.
