RE: ROSTER TALK: $10.87M TPE | rebounder priority for DAL, not Gobert? | LaVine? - mvossman - 06-15-2022 (06-15-2022, 08:42 PM)DanSchwartzgan Wrote: Right now I look at Maxi being a true swing big backing up 5 and 4. I also look at Dorian as playing both the 4 and the 3. So: Wood/Maxi/Powell DFS/Maxi/Bertans Bullock/DFS/Green Luka/THJ/Pinson Brunson/Din/Frank The minutes are tight for Timmy and Din.

Probably don't have to worry about Frank getting dumped either. The defense was really good with Powell and Wood is pretty much a direct upgrade to all of Powell's weaknesses as long as he can handle the mental part of it. I'm on board even if the defense isn't great. Let Luka pad the hell out of his stats. Wood is the best 5 you can get for him in this market on offense and I don't think it's really close other than running small ball 5 Collins for a ton more assets. RE: ROSTER TALK: $10.87M TPE | rebounder priority for DAL, not Gobert? | LaVine? - mvossman - 06-15-2022 Its crazy how much this changes the conversations on here. No more talking about the bottom of the roster, probably much less talking about the draft. No more talking about guys like Gobert or Turner. Probably rules out guys like Collins and Grant as well. Would we still spend the tax MLE on a defensive center? Does a Tobias Harris trade make any more or less sense? That is one of the few that we could still possibly pull off. Is there an overpriced defensive 4 that we could possibly target with some combination of Timmy, Powell and Green?

Powell is probably a top 5 BBIQ player among the centers in the league. His heart and mind really helped him overcome some size disadvantages and even some athletic ones. IF a player is close to Powell athletically they will not look good trying to replace him without a high sense of BBIQ. So that is my concern on the defensive end. I feel confident that he will fit in nicely on offense, but how that equates - I will just say that I am hopeful.

A lot of these blocks in this compilation are on all-star level players. He has seasons over 1 block/game in the nba. Powell is always around .5. Direct upgrade in that regard. Should be more engaged on a contender than a rebuilding team which he didn't sign up for when he picked the Rockets originally and they immediately traded Harden after. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3up35GVPUOs RE: ROSTER TALK: $10.87M TPE | "playoff rotation wing" priority for DAL - loki - 06-15-2022 So they want a wing per McMahon. Any chance they can lure PJ Tucker? Batum has been discussed before but he seems dead set on returning to the Clips. RE: ROSTER TALK: $10.87M TPE | "playoff rotation wing" priority for DAL - Kammrath - 06-15-2022 RE: "Playoff Rotation Wing" TJ Warren? OPJ? Danuel House? Feels like a trade will be how they have to find this desired wing.

Crowder would slot in really nicely though. If you look at this as tightened playoff rotation (where guys play multiple position as in your depth chart, we now have 8 instead of 6...progress.

I’d say they at least keep shopping him. That THJ for Holmes and Harkless still looks pretty good to me.

If you look at this as tightened playoff rotation (where guys play multiple position as in your depth chart, we now have 8 instead of 6...progress. Would Crowder fit into our TPE? Fits the role of playoff wing. Maybe PHX decides they will match any Ayton offer and look to move off Crowder’s salary.

It's a good question. In my mind a healthy Timmy is already adding a playoff rotation wing. I agree with Dan that focus should be defense, and Tobias does not really fit that need. I'm struggling to think who though. We just spent our best asset. (06-15-2022, 10:40 PM)Chicagojk Wrote: Would Crowder fit into our TPE? Fits the role of playoff wing.

RE: ROSTER TALK: $10.87M TPE | "playoff rotation wing" priority for DAL - IamDougieFresh - 06-15-2022 1. Re-sign Brunson 2. MLE Wing 6' 7" and up please. Should be able to play 3 or 4. 3. Re-sign Pinson 4. Vet min traditional big I'm in a good mood so Dwight can stay and finish this contract in a nice 10 mpg role.

Definitely interested if he's available at that price though. Yeah. It feels like it will be harder to find a quality big wing than center with the tax MLE. Someone mentioned Batum, who I would love, but don't think we can pry him away either. Tucker is already 37. He was great this year but not sure what can be left in that tank. RE: ROSTER TALK: $10.87M TPE | "playoff rotation wing" priority for DAL - Jommybone - 06-15-2022 Wings who could be had of the top of my head: Gary Harris Will Barton Rudy Gay Jeff Green |
