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

[ItsGoTime]

Yeah, so taking assumption out of it...

Lots of folks rationalizing that they have a plan that doesn't involve the third playmaker. I guess that's possible. But, it's certainly not what worked for them last season, and it's not what they, themselves trumpeted as the plan going into this summer. 

So, it seems more likely to me that rather than abandoning the plan for one they liked better, they simply failed to execute their plan. Or, maybe it's even worse, and they're operating so over their heads they don't even have a clearly held plan. Maybe Cuban went off half-cocked with his comments and the others don't agree...maybe they can't even agree about what worked last year, despite it being so plain to see for all. 

Things might be getting worse, not better. I sure hope we don't look back at Donnie leaving with regret. That thought has actually been occurring to me lately for the first time. 

I HATE what they're doing.

I’m mostly with the thought that we need more facilitating behind Luka and SD. That’s me the fan. I will say, I hate the wording used that we need 3 pgs. If that was the requirement, I’d rather just get Julius Randle for what seems cheap right now instead of just adding pg after pg to the roster. Mind you, I HATE the thought of what Randle would do to this team. 


The contenders and teams finding success are not running 2-3 high end pgs in their heavy rotation. They have ball handling facilitators that fill in other positions. This is where I want to go. I think Wood is also a possible step in that direction.

Edit: oh, ya, forgot about the point I was originally trying to make. 

If they do nothing else, I don’t believe they see the problem you see and it’s not like they saw any less of last season than any one of us.
