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

[Branduil]

I love how you said lets go back to sensibility and immediately opened up "Now onto Jonathan Isaac"

Isaac has a case to be made that he's a mix of the worst qualities of Kyrie and Simmons. Dude has played in less games than either of them by a mile. He also doesn't really seem to be in a rush to get back to the NBA, you know given his book deal. 

Now don't get me wrong, to each his own. Isaac is a man of strong faith and I respect that, but we're looking for basketball players, not pastors. I don't think Isaac should be a risk the Mavs should want to take, at least not any more than Kyrie and Simmons.

Is Kyrie toxic? Yes. Probably the GOAT in terms of franchise killer. 

BUT he has already come out and said he's ready to prove everyone wrong and show that he's worth a max contract. If there's one thing that could motivate Kyrie, is his stubbornness and desire to be correct/prove everyone wrong. Also a max contract on the line doesn't hurt either.

I'd argue this is probably the ONLY time it makes sense to ever get Kyrie on your team, mostly because his price will never be lower, and he'll never have more of an incentive right now to quit his shenanigans for at least 11 months.
