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

Bertans seems unlikely.  They've been quibbling with Lakers over sending out Curry over Harris.  They are trying to win after all and their defense was already abysmal.  Having a stable of 3 and no D guys seems far fetched.

That sounds to me like you were saying they don't want players whose best skill is offense, not defense, but I'll take your word for it that's not what you meant.

In any event, I think THJ-DB or THJ-DB-Powell would make a lot of sense, and might be enough. I think the Nets could see value there. I don't assume they'll do better. I don't think a higher price that takes a core Mavs player is all that enticing.

A motivated Kyrie could be amazing.  While risky, I would certainly rather have him here than on a competitor in the WC.  He would certainly be motivated with the Lakers, and he is young enough that he and AD could keep the Lakers as a threat well after LeBron is done.  I'd kinda like to see them die when LeBron leaves them.  That's just me. I want to see WB's contract expire and them have few ways to get another star there.  Then watch AD demand a trade.  I want to see them burn. F 'em.
