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

[ItsGoTime]

1) I literally say some variation of your first sentence in every third post these days, precisely to avoid passive aggressive stuff like this. I guess I'll try harder. I'm sorry my opinions offend you, but I'm definitely going to keep thinking for myself. 

2) I'm not sure I made it clear enough, but that "enlightened" comment was about "the basketball people in Dallas," which was my way of saying "the people who work for the Mavericks." It had nothing to do with the frequenters of this message board, though now that I can see some took it that way, I think we could use a little more enlightenment around here. Who couldn't?

So, you really didn’t offend me all that much. I waffle on your comments so much. What I really have a hard time with is how rigid you are with them. There are exactly 2 teams in the league that can do what you want us to do in GSW and Miami. That’s because of Green and Bam. Maxi isn’t close to either of those guys. Neither is Wood. They are big enough to take and give the banging while quick enough to cover the whole floor. I don’t think even Simmons is big enough for the bangers.


I won’t be all that happy if Powell gets a lot of rotational minutes later in the season when the playoff rotation is solidified. I think experimentation and injury/rest minutes will occur until then. Since the signing, my thoughts went straight to this and never imagined your fear of Powell getting meaningful minutes to be all that well founded. Time will tell on that.
