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

[Chicagojk]

I think you have to think of Powell as a contract and not as a player.

To me, the only possible fit here is Ainge (or some other GM) preferring Powell’s $11mm expiring instead of some other mediocre player needed to trade match with multiple years left. 

Of course, there are probably 20 other teams trying to play this game.  Did anyone else see the Stein mention that IF there is a Mitchell to NY deal that the Knicks might pursue a Randle for Westbrook deal to clear Randle?

Never been a Westbrook fan and it sounds like he is totally against playing the role he needs to be playing.   

But if he is traded to NYC or Utah (maybe Brooklyn too), he is probably bought out.   Would ya for the 15th spot if he would be willing to come off the bench?
