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

[dirkfansince1998]

I assume by only one player that fits modern NBA defense you meant one big, right?  Out of curiosity, was there anyone reasonably available this offseason given our meager assets that meets that description?

In the Mavs price range? No proven players. Only upside kids like Jalen Smith or Thomas Bryant. Maybe the Mavs willingness to offer additonal years would have been enough to secure one of the guys in the 5-10m range. For me the addition of Wood was enough if all they wanted was a short term solution. With all the additional needs (big wing, playmaker) it feels like they invested a lot of their meager assets into bigs.

But that brings us back to the overall plan and idea of the people in charge. And it gives me a bad feeling because I don´t see any longterm plan. McGee feels like a three season stop gap. Mavs admitting that they don´t have the necessary talent and no way to add in the near future.
Leaving us with the usual Donnie era talking points. A trade in the future. Saving assets for the big move. Being opportunistic.
