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

[DanSchwartzgan]

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?

There are probably 1,000 ways that ends poorly from a culture standpoint.  Four teams have gotten tired of his act in the last four years (but one of those was Wash and we’ve already had a good experience with a Wash PG who didn’t fit there).

As a bench playmaker surrounded by THJ, Wood and Maxi, I could see the attraction.  He can still get in the lane and finish at the rim or pass out to the open man.  He did 3 things last season at higher than career average…0-3 FG%, Corner 3% and turn the ball over.  I would probably hate such a signing initially and eventually come around to seeing the possibilities.  Half the league has cap room next summer and he has a chance of making some money if he can rehabilitate his reputation and his game somewhere.
