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

[Tyler]

I hate to be a broken record with Skin Wade's comments, but he very confidently and clearly stated that it is "unlikely" that DP was on the roster to start the season.

Skin obviously has deep connections with the Mavs and has occasionally leaked inside info like the DAJ acquisition before it was public. But he's also sometimes wrong.

In the same interview you're referencing, I believe Skin also implied that McGee was never actually told by the Mavs that he was a starter and that he told MacMahon that on his own. Well, it turns out McGee was right and Skin was wrong.

So I guess we'll see. I will say, though, that as an expiring contract with much more competition for his minutes than before, Powell does seem like prime trade fodder.
