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

[Razzmatazz_Hopskidillydoo]

Mavs were already in deep by not replacing Brunson (Dragic would have helped!).
And then gave McGee his retirement money.
Whoever is responsible for these should be fired.

As if THJ and Bertans weren't enough. Now the Mavs would also need to unload McGee.
How do you trade McGee then?
Maybe someone like Holmes who's making DP money.
Yes, Holmes doesn't look right currently, but clearly he just doesn't fit with Sabonis, and he could do well on another team. At least there is hope for him to get better.
Will the Kings see Mcgee as an upgrade over Holmes?, certainly not, but they aren't benefitting much from an 11M a year player anyway, so why not flip him for someone who's equally unusable for them, but cheaper?

Of course, the trade wouldn't work as the salaries don't match.
I would think the Kings would see McGee vs. Holmes is a winning trade for them, adding Frankie in that trade who's an expiring would only make the trade lean more in their favor. So.. McGee + Frank for Holmes. This is enough of a trade for me.

But there's a few more possibilities with the trade that centers around Holmes expensive 3 year deal and McGee's waste of roster space.

McGee+THJ for Holmes+Davis
McGee+THJ+a second round pick for Holmes+Barnes
McGee+THJ+Hardy+a second round pick for Holmes+Monk
McGee+THJ+Hardy+a few second rounders for Holmes+Barnes+Monk
McGee+THJ+Wood for Holmes+Barnes+Monk

Barnes is overpaid, and IMHo, Kings would like to keep him, but wouldn't be opposed to moving him.
If the Kings want Green instead of Hardy, or even in addition to Hardy, that's fine by me provided the Mavs get Monk.
If the Kings want Wood for his talent or just for his expiring deal, then so be it, Mavs keep the youngsters.

Barnes gives the Mavs a more dynamic forward who can handles some.
Monk, while not a PG, can be that 3rd ball handler/playmaker. Monk is Hardy 2 years from now, if Hardy works on his game.

Clear talent upgrade for the Mavs, even if Holmes doesn't improve his game to last season's Holmes and take on his 3 years of 11M.
