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

[KillerLeft]

If I were coach, I’d want to see this rotation (healthy) for 20 games before making any big trades:

Powell (in the role he played last year and that McGee was supposed to play this year - short minutes to start and then on an as needed basis)
DFS
Green
THJ
Luka

Dinwiddie plays big minutes in rotation with Luka/THJ

Wood plays big minutes, ALL at the 5. 

Kleber plays big minutes, some at the 4 and some at the 5, when Powell or Wood are in foul trouble, when one of them is really struggling, when they need to cut Powell out completely and play 40 minutes of 5-out, etc.

Bullock/Ntilikina COMPETE for the last spot in the rotation, soaking up the swing minutes not taken by THJ, Green and DFS. 

That, to me, is a good attempt at a 9-man rotation that I haven’t seen Kidd try in earnest, and that shocks me because it would’ve been the FIRST approach that I tried. 

If Wood plays well enough to force Kidd to try starting him, I’m totally fine with that, but really I just want to see him used in such a way that the team can benefit if/when he figures out how to play well consistently.
