2019-2020 Mavs Trade Discussion + Salary Chart

Good points.  If you are concerned about this season and are only making one move, RoCo probably makes the team better.  Bogdan is more of a long term play.  I don't think this is a championship team this year which is why I lean Bogdan.

We don't have to be a championship team to bring in the better right now player. He's better for now and long term, because he is one of the best non-superstar two way players in the league on a great contract. If we were actually able to get either, there's no way I'm complaining, I just think the biggest need for this team, right now, is defense, and it's not even close.

Bottom line, they play the same role.

On offense, pretty much correct, with RoCo a little more versatile. You however, don't need to hide either one on offense and they do multiple things well enough to not make themselves liabilities on that end. Don't see what you're saying about how it "has" to be. 

On defense you're also correct, which is amazingly awesome to have 2 high end defenders that can defend positions 1-(many) 4. Again, not arguing about not liking Bog, just see RoCo as the better fit now and going forward.

I'd be ecstatic with either but in a game of either/or, I'd go Bogdan over RoCo.
