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

[Chicagojk]

Money doesn't quite work.  Recall we are working at 125% plus $100k.  Can't do the $5mm thing over the apron.  So, we'd have to send more than just Powell to match Rose.

I think someone like Rose makes sense positionally.  TO for 23 also makes sense.  Either need a bigger outgoing or a bigger deal with more moving pieces.

Powell alone does reach Clarkson or Beverley.  FWIW, Clarkson is Rich Paul and Beverley is Duffy.  Conley is CAA (no way the leave him stranded in Utah).  Bogdonovic is Wasserman (same as JaVale McGee).

The more I think about it, the more I like the Rose target.  There are some pretty big qualifiers though.  One, Thibs would actually need to move Rose.  Second, the team that acquires Rose would have not use for him.   

But I like the fit.  It is a short term move.    Rose appears to be the vet who this team prefers.  He is a tough player.  Can be a third attacker.   Don't need to over play him but he can fill in for high minutes when needed.   I never viewed him as a good three point shooter but has shot well recently.   

There are some negatives for his game but at his $ and cost, I think he is a suitable short term solution.   Not as tricky of an acquisition as  Conley and a higher tier player than someone like Kemba.  Pretty well in the sweet spot.,
