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

[Mapka]

Disagree on THJ being a must.  There were plenty of other options.  Dinwiddie is clearly a better player and better fit than Timmy.  I had mixed feelings on this, but DeRozen was also an option.  Lauri Markkanen wanted to be here and would have been a better fit than Timmy.  There were also several smaller contracts that would have been interesting: Oubre, Holmes, Jackson, Burks, Green, Caruso, ...  Not all of those would have panned out, but we had 34 million in cap space and Bullock is the only player we acquired/retained in free agency that had any real contribution to the team last year.

Din was back fresh from a ACL and nobody knew what he would look like ( he could easyly been as bad here as in Washington). He was on my short list tough.

Did you see what money DeRozan got?

Lauri was not available to us.

We could have had Timmy and Caruso, whom I like. The others are on my Vet-min/Bi-Anual/TMLE or don´t touch-list.
