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

[RDB]

But that's the rub. Just about everyone on this board can say that and mean it. It is ALL about the price.

Who would we give up? How many picks? First round picks? We're just now recovering from the Porzingas payment of picks. The next few years would be ugly.

How long do we get to keep Kyrie is he's successful? He walked out on both LeBron and Tatum. What do you think we would get for him in a trade if he's not successful? If he's not successful, I would venture to say he's trending downward and there's little return.

We're hoping to draw an inside straight, and we'll be paying this off for years if we lose.

I don’t know what the price is…I haven’t spoken with his agent or the Nets.  It doesn’t seem as though teams are lining up to sign him and so far, it seems to be a one horse race.  I am simply making the point that I would kick the tires (which they may have already done).  

I also don’t get the vibe that your “everybody can say that comment” applies to many here, including you.  Maybe I missed something but I see a lot of disdain for anything Kyrie related.  I was simply offering an alternate train of thought that for the right price, I would absolutely do a Kyrie trade.  FWIW, whatever that deal is would be low enough that I could walk away after 1 year…as it stands, I don’t think I would be comfortable long-term.  However, if we could get a legit star on a 1 year deal at pennies on the dollar, who likely needs to rebuild his reputation to shore up his future dollars AND simultaneously get a better idea of the best way to fit another star around Luka (we literally have no history there) AND potentially free up some future dollars to acquire said star, I’m all for it.  To make the leap to the Pozingas trade after effects and long term deals and first round picks is to miss my point.  I don’t care who he walked out on…he isn’t walking out in the final year of his make good…give me future dollars contract.  IMO, the past that everyone is hung up on is irrelevant unless he is a complete moron and has no interest in getting one last big payday.
