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

[mvossman]

I don’t disagree with this line of thinking and if I were to keep one of Hardaway/Bullock/Dinwiddie then it would most likely be Dinwiddie but one thing I’d point out is that a Dinwiddie/Bullock package paired with a bunch of picks this offseason may end up making more sense for the receiving team because Dinwiddie and Bullock will both be expiring. The situation you’re painting would require either extending Dinwiddie, trading him during the season next year or losing him for nothing. I just don’t see us extending him (I may be wrong) so in my head our offseason package will end up being Dinwiddie/Bullock (if they are still here) and 2+ picks so they don’t have to worry about Dinwiddies next contract.

So I totally agree that a Din/Bullock package makes the most sense to the team we are trading to as they will both be expiring, but this team is already shy on rotational playmakers and sending out Dinwiddie exacerbates the problem.  If we make a trade for Wiggins or Anunoby for example, we would have one player in the top 9 rotation that can come close to running an offense.  I would prefer not to send out multiple picks in a trade and then have to revamp half the roster to make everything work.  

I think I would prefer to extend Dinwiddie vs holding onto Timmy for the length of his contract.
