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

[mvossman]

We should be far more desperate than the Lakers. We are tying to avoid a nuclear bomb going off in about 24 months and killing a potentially beautiful world.

The Lakers are already a post apocalyptic wasteland. Bron has been washed up for a few years and Athony Davis can´t stay healthy. If not for the pure luck of the bubble and getting a three months rest before a travel-less play-offs, they would not have won s*** with or without Westbrook.

Hard disagree on the desperate mindset.  Why are we talking about nuclear bomb going off when we just went to the WCF?  The Brunson fumble was not good, but the Wood trade makes up for a lot of it (and potentially all of it considering fit).  I'm still in the camp that this team needs just one big move to get a true number 2 to be a contender.  That move will likely involve all of our future assets (especially after bungling Brunson) and we need to get it right.  We likely have more than two years to make that deal and it not something that you want to rush or panic on (which is what desperate teams do).
