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

[Scott41theMavs]

SD/DFS/Bullock/Powell/Frank for IQ/Reddish/Hartenstein/Toppin/Fournier/Rose


Gets them a team that might be able to compete with Boston, with some things going their way. They still have picks and some contracts to make more moves if it doesn’t fully pan out.

Gets us a youth movement to get to a competitive place in the next couple years. Decent possibility that Reddish and Hartenstein can show out here and either become better trade assets, or good teammates for the push.

I like that trade, but NY definitely doesn't do it without Hardy thrown in. We still have THJ, Bertans, and McGee stinking up our books, and now Fournier as well. Luka is likely pissed that we traded so many of his buds. I have no problem with DFS's inclusion for that haul, but SD does give me some pause. IQ is the big prize there, with some significant hopes for Hartenstein, Toppin, and maybe Reddish. Rose helps this year. As I look at that, it just really seems lopsided in favor of the Mavs. Even still, the thought of Cuban paying luxury tax on THJ/Bertans/McGee/Fournier (you can 100% forget about re-signing Wood) - no way that would happen, even if NY miraculously said yes without including FRPs.
