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

[mvossman]

Think about how much flexibility you'd gain by getting out from under THJ and Bertans contracts though. And honestly, Westbrook may be an inefficient chucker, but I'd still take him over Simmons or Kyrie. At least Westbrook wants to play basketball. Kyrie literally just blew up a franchise that had championship aspirations and Simmons is too scared of getting clowned on social media to even try to shoot.

What flexibility does it add?  Powell was already expiring and Timmy contract will potentially be an asset by next season.  In order to have anywhere close to cap space for a max contract next season we would need to let Wood and Maxi walk.  You are talking about dumping 3 of our currently 7 core players so that we can chase a free agent.  Have we not been burned by plan powder enough?
