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

[Winter]

I don’t think that’s the most depressing thought, either, but I bet the vast majority of people reading around here have already written Powell completely out of the playoffs in their minds. But, I’m telling you, ONE of them HAS to play, and there WILL be a situation that McGee can’t handle on defense at some point.

If Powell is still here, he will play. But like every bench player with an expiring contract, the trade deadline mid-season still invites movement.

Last season, we had 4-6 players who were lucky to see a minute. That isn't true anymore. One more good player makes this a more capable bench. I will be disappointed if I don't see one more recognizable player added, but I do not think this team is taking a drop either way. I will watch any team where Luca Doncic is the ball-handler ... and enjoy it I think.
