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

[ItsGoTime]

With current personnel?  SD.  We don't have a backup PG, so you have to rotate Luka/SD.  I also think SD's game benefits from coming off the bench.  That said, I like the Luka/Wood pnr having space to operate without McGee.  So, he could move McGee out.  I think this team needs Bull/DFS starting for D.  But it comes down to D for me (and I believe Kidd).  Only way Wood makes the starting squad is if he proves he can anchor D - which would kind of mean McGee is out.

What if he shows the ability to move his feet to be a switchable defender but not a defensive anchor? I think McGee was brought in to be able to bang with all the big starting C’s in the league for long enough so that Wood and Maxi don’t have to take on all that wear and tear. Starting is important because at the beginning of both halves is when those big bigs have the most energy.


You’re probably right in that if Wood can be a defensive anchor, McGee sits. If Wood can be a switchable defender, I think Bullock is the casualty unless Wood also shows he can spell Luka a few possessions here and there while on the court. Then it’s SD.

I also think he’s closer to being a switchable defender than a defensive anchor though.
