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

[MarkAguirreWrathofGod]

KL— I totally agree with your premise, in theory. But like many others here I view McGee as an innings eater that will save some wear and tear on our bigs. There is value in that. Not sure who the other rotation guys were that we could’ve added for the tax MLE. Are you saying you’d rather they just didn’t even add McGee? I do think he will be of limited value in a playoff series but can help get us there in one piece, hopefully. I feel worse about this years team because of the obvious— losing Brunson for nothing. Seeing the $ guys like Poole and Herro and Kevin Porter Jr. got only made this look worse in retrospect. We have limited assets to replace the shot creation Brunson brought as well as add the high level wing we need to truly compete. Now we almost need our next big move to be a shot creator AND high level defender in one. With plenty of teams in possession of more desirable assets to get guys like SGA or Jaylen Brown should they come available. Our core is all on the older side and teams will go into negotiations knowing we are desperate to deal as the Luka clock ticks. Maxi, DFS, Reggie and Din are all older and we will need to backfill for them. I think one wing spot can be capably filled by Josh and hopefully we can get him signed to an extension in the Nas Little ballpark after this season. Maybe Hardy can grow into the Dinwiddie role? Maybe we can turn THJ into a better fitting piece? The front office has very little margin for error from here on out.
