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

[mvossman]

Posting this on you because your draft contributions going back years is impeccable, but the question I have is for the board as a whole.  Is it really fair to compare Green to Bane as a Dallas miss?  Someone will probably correct me, but I don’t recall anyone calling for us to draft Bane at 18.  Bey…yes.  Tons of people wanted him there.  Maxey, there were some, but not as many as Bey.  I do recall lots of people liking Bane and wanting us to move up to grab him in the late 20’s.  I was in that group as I follow TCU because my kids went there.

I just see an ever increasing move on this board from ‘Dallas blew it by not drafting Bey’ to ‘Dallas blew it by not drafting Bane’.  11 other teams made the same mistake, some more grievously than others.  I’m just wondering how many of us can really say “I told you so” on Bane at 18?

Its interesting because I spent more time on another board than this one back then, and Bane was probably the most popular pick.  The general thoughts were:

1.  Bey was thought to not be an option as he would get picked earlier and the general consensus was that he was not worth moving up for since Bane would be available at 18.  When they both were there, folks would have been good with either.

2.  Maxey was considered redundant with Brunson.  He would be really nice to have now. 

3.  Green was not on anyone's radar.
