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

Further, I think the simplest explanation isn't Ben Simmons.

I'd be looking at Mike Conley+some wing UTA has. Conley isn't a great asset. He's owed 22 mil this year and the next. 

In terms of playoff wings that are disposable, UTA has Rudy Gay, Bogdanovic, Clarkson, and Vanderbilt (though he can't be aggregated in a trade for a while).

Yeah, I think Conley could be an option.   He is partially guaranteed on his last year of his contract, but if Utah blows up, I am sure they would prefer getting off of him.  I just don't know how it all works out.  Dallas would probably need to get involved in a bigger trade.

Vanderbilt would be excellent as a throw in, I think.  But he probably has more value than Conley.    Rudy Gay...he is more of a PF type and not sure he can still defend.   But he could possibly be a very cheap throw in if there was any interest.
