ROSTER TALK: Mavs favs for Vogel if no HC job exists. Kyrie handshake deal?

Trade Dinwiddie?

I was mostly away from the board for about five months, but one of the most surprising developments here was the narrative of Dinwiddie deprecation after the playoffs. I guess people prefer the bad old days. Luka-Brunson-Dinwiddie was far better than Luka-Brunson-THJ. SD is a more valuable creator than Dragic today, and certainly than THJ. 

After seeing how good the team looked with three playmakers, they want to go down to one and a half (and that's if we get Dragic, which as people have said, is far from a done deal!) and play Super-Hardenball? That will sure attract free agents. 

Unless we somehow get our pick back and are wanting to tank this year, trading Dinwiddie this summer without a playmaker coming back is committing seppuku on the year. If the Mavs trade him, I for one will be   . They lost that luxury definitively when JB walked.

Yep. This team didn't take off until we added the third playmaker in Dinwiddie. If anyone should be traded it should be THJ with the goal of getting another playmaker in return to get us back to 3. Then I'd like to also sign Dragic even after that to give us 4. We need as many playmaking guards as possible. Losing Brunson is a huge step back and trading Dinwiddie would just make it worse.
