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).

I don't think Simmons is THE simplest explanation, but I think he is AN explanation of the mystery. 

I do not think Conley is an answer at all, because he is NOT a wing and the Mavs clearly have that as the priority. Why pay Conley $22M instead of Dragic the minimum? That makes zero sense.
