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

[Razzmatazz_Hopskidillydoo]

That rumor of Saddiq doesn't seem too realistic.
There's just no way the Mavs can package anything for him.
And I don't think Saddiq is available.

But one guy can.

Would you rather have a PG who's inept at shooting or a supposed PG who can't play make with a slightly better shot?

That's Hayes vs. Frankie

Both busts, both are good defensively, but are lacking in offense.

KH+Noel for Frankie+McGee+ two second round picks

Detroit has time and is gunning for Victor, so Hayes would have all the freedom to play freely, but he has been playing the same way for years with no significant progress (at least stat wise), and come next season, he will be buried on the bench when Cunningham and Ivey gets all the PT. When is the time to give up on Hayes? Maybe the Pistons already did. Just so happen, Cunningham is injured and someone needs to play PG, but nearing the end of the season, it makes no difference if your PG is Frankie or Hayes, the plan is to lose anyway. For McGee, I'd like to think of McGee as a veteran presence for the young Pistons, maybe they'd think of him that way.  If anything, McGee is a third string C making less than Noel (who isn't giving them anything, so this one is a wash stat-wise).

For the Mavs: I don't care if Noel doesn't play a single minute as a Mav ever again. But if he does, there can be some use for him in a DP role. Hayes can't shoot. But he does have PG skills and is a good defender. If he can learn to shoot in his hypothetical Mavs tenure, then good. I think he's a worth gamble for 2 seconds, he is still young and even if his track record tells he can't shoot, there is still hope for him. But if he truly does not improve in offense, then he is another defender and ball handler that maybe of better use to the Mavs than the Pistons, specially next season. Just think of him as the younger version of Josh Green who couldn't shoot but can defend (and can dribble).
