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

[mvossman]

We did our fair share of bad moves, but most of them made at least sense in one way or the other.
Really bad in my sight were:
- not extending Brunson and DFS immediately.

- The Seth/JRich trade.

There's for sure something I missed but that's just one really bad fuckup.

I would rank us as mostly not dumb but unfortunate.

Lets look at just the last 2 offseasons with Nico:

Had 34 mil in cap space and instead decided to run it back making the following moves:
  -  Sign Timmy to a contract that is clearly negative right now
  -  Sign Bullock to MLE (so far that has looked good for half a season)
  -  Sign Boban to more than min (joke)
  -  Sign Brown to more than min (fail)
  -  keep WCS with team option (fail)

They failed to sign Brunson to an extension which turned out to be a disaster of a decision

They failed to trade KP during offseason when they could potentially have replaced him with cap space, presumably to raise his trade value.  That failed as they had to send him out for two negative contracts and draft capital.

Then this offseason their two biggest free agent moves were:

  -  Let Brunson walk
  -  Sign McGee to 3/17 (complete fail)

That is a lot of failures (many of them being immediately identified as such by this board) in just two years.  Its hard to find anything they did right since the Luka/Brunson draft.  The original Dorian and Maxi extensions.  The Wood trade.  Maybe a few other, but the failures have way outdone the successes.

Free agency has been a complete disaster (as always with this organization).  Its why I can't imagine anyone wanting to go plan powder.
