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

[MarkAguirreWrathofGod]

Interesting idea Dan. The uncertainty for me is in not knowing enough about Sexton the person. Would he be happy coming off the bench? Can he buy in to the culture Kidd is creating with a more defensively oriented identity. Would he have much more trade value THJ regardless of these factors at around the same money? I would say yes, assuming he is healthy. He’s certainly a better “talent.” If the cost is Frank or Green (especially) count me out though. I think we need more potential 3-D guys with defensive chops, not less. I’d rather just roll with THJ, Dwight, Frank and Green— all of whom are useful depth pieces in their own respective ways and are, by all accounts, model citizens.
Also, I have a question: is there any way any of this benefits our pursuit of the “big trade”using picks in 2024? Aside from banking on Sexton being a better trade chip than THJ+ whichever young gun we send out in the deal? You have a much better grasp of cap ramifications than I do.
