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

[mvossman]

I thought we had one second left? Anyway if the 2027 1st has to be unprotected, you can ask for three 2nd rounders from Orlando back. I´m sure they´d happily do that. That 2027 1st could be the top top pick and is easily worth three 2nd rounders.

I said I guess Phoenix says no, but it´s hard to tell. Crowder and Saric are both expiring and Crowder refuses to play for them. On paper Saric for Levert is a fair trade, but I think Phoenix overrates their position and leverage.

But let´s do it like that now...

Bertans + McGee + 2027 unprotected 1st for Bamba + Harris + three 2nd round picks.

Crowder/Saric to Dallas
THJ to Cleveland
Levert + three 2nd round picks to Phoenix

We have a second left, but it is tied up with the 23 first.  We should have it available in offseason.

As you mentioned the 2027 unprotected first is very valuable.  No interest in sending that out for Bamba and Harris.  I have no interest in spending the limited assets we have in getting off our bad contracts.  I would rather stretch waive either/both if necessary.
