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

[Mavs2021]

I'd be all over this.  You just erased KP's contract a year ahead of it's schedule and after the season ends, save for a 2nd rounder, that nightmare would be behind us.  And maybe you could use Kyrie as a S&T next offseason?  I feel you about losing SW, but you can hopefully recruit Dragic.

Given our asset pool and the cost of all stars these days (KAT), if the idea is to trade for a second star, they are going to come with warts.  I realize Kyrie has a ton but on the last year of his deal, he has every reason to be on his best behavior.

Yup. I can´t believe the amount of people that oppose straight up trades for Kyrie or Westbrook (without giving up additional draft assets) on the small chance that they are actually worse than Dinwiddie next year. You worry about the alleged downgrade from Dinwiddie to Westbrook for a year. Wait till you see what the downgrade from Luka to Sexton looks like.
