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

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 Doncia is the ball-handler ... and enjoy it I think.

I agree with your point about the trade deadline. That’s valid. 

And, I agree about the bottom of the roster being more useful this year than last. Another good point.

But, I’m not putting up with an implication, no matter how subtle, that I don’t appreciate Luka Doncic, especially from someone who routinely misspells his name. It is BECAUSE of Luka and the WCF finish last season that my hope for better than this was so strong.
