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

[KillerLeft]

The list of players you gave is obviously on a giant spectrum in terms of impact (which you noted in the Lebron vs Rui example) so I guess with that in mind my stance would be this, we should go after two way wings no matter how they fit into the roster from a size perspective. If that player is someone like Siakim who would move DFS to the 3 then I’d be all for that experiment because of Siakims talent level on both sides of the court but guys like Vanderbilt don’t move the needle for me enough to experiment with DFS at the 3 because I don’t think he brings enough on offense for us to use our limited assets to go get him. Basically it would feel like we’re just shuffling in a new player that is a good role player but not a two way difference maker which is basically the current issue we already have.

I agree with this. 

I think the other element I'm bringing (that you might think is hogwash) is that because there isn't any prototypical 4 on the roster, even a player who doesn't meet the highest criteria for "two-way" might be helpful, and that is part of why I think addressing that hole might be the ideal move right now - because it seems possible. 

Vanderbilt, for example, is NOT a good offensive player (yet, he's trending in a useful direction) but I'm pretty convinced he'd make the team better. I can't say the same for any of the smaller targets we've mentioned (Thybulle, for example) or any of the huge, 3rd center types, either. Those guys would have to be really, really skilled to move the needle here, imho.
