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

[Kammrath]

You literally said that about 10 games into the season. Has your opinion changed?

There’s no way you could possibly think they are too old to contribute for the next two or three seasons (I’d bet longer), so it can’t be that.

Can you provide my quote on that? I have no memory of saying any such thing. 

I think they have both regressed, but I do not think they are "suddenly bad players." I also think they were not that great to start with. Good and solid role players, nothing more. And I also think they will likely be heading down a path of further regression in the years to come. 

I think the Mavs need to be building for 2-3 years from now and I do not think DFS or Kleber will be anything but bit bench players by then (and on a great team would only be that anyway). I think the Mavs should sell high on both DFS and Maxi if at all possible. I would have traded them both LAST TDL if I was GMing. 

Anyways, I don't think they are "bad" players, I just think they are NBA bench players. And I don't think ANY team should be building around and making their plans around bench players.
