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

[cow]

I wonder what the trade market for AD would is these days.  Even when he was healthy the past season, he didn't look like the same player.  He's a generational talent and not exactly old at 29, but you can't stay on the floor and you have to hope his recent struggles were an aberration.  He certainly has value to teams in a win now mode (Chicago?) but I don't think I'd break the bank for his services.  If I were the Lakers and he plays well leading to the TDL, I'd consider selling high.  I guess that depends on the standing but I just don't see the Lakers as a contender.  

Acquiring Westbrook was a massive mistake but the Lakers but they are absolutely right to not trade '27 & '29.  I get they promised to maximize LeBron's title hopes but they put enough talent around him for one ring and he had his hands in the Westbrook trade.   I just don't think they can turn the current roster into chicken salad.
