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

[Chicagojk]

I understand why the Lakers would do it, but counting on 38-year-old Lebron and AD to stay healthy, Kyrie Irving to stay focused, and a skeleton crew of minimum salary guys to win a title is faaaaaaaaaar from a sure thing.

I agree...a lot needs to go right.  But the Lakers are desperate right now.   They are just dead in the water right now with Westbrook.  Who knows how much longer they have with Lebron (both with age and upcoming FA).   You can smell the desperation with them.

Dallas is not at that level of desperation.   But lets revisit that in 18 months.
