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

[Mavsfan12]

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.

You can disagree with acquiring Isaac on medical fitness.  That is why he would be available.  That other stuff is junk that I am not buying and it is kind of despicable that it would be an issue.  Dude writes books in his spare time.  Non issue.  By all accounts, he is a high character man and excellent basketball player.  As for his injury, his contract takes that into consideration.  My post discussed all of that, and how I would be willing to trade THJ/Powell for Harris, (who's defensive profile while still being able to spread the floor makes him a better fit, imo), and the possibility of Isaac returning to form (or dust as his contract becomes unguaranteed).  His play was worth the risk, imo.  It also is reasonable that a trade like that could happen - unlike discussion of Durant.  That said, we are operating in a post-Dragic decision environment and we need a distributor.  So do most other teams.  Makes it tough to dwell on potential when that reality is staring you in the face.
