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

sorry to be unclear.

I AGREE with you that the PF spot is the weakness, currently, so that's the guy I'd target...to be the 9th guy in the rotation. It's not that I specifically want the rotation's 9th best player, it's that there are currently only 8 players here good enough to be in a playoff rotation.

My point is that lateral trades for either Wood or THJ, or even UPGRADES, for that matter, aren't enough. they are currently one rotation player short, and if they move one of them, they need TWO rotation players back. If they move both of them, they need THREE rotation players back.

So you were not unclear.  I think it would be nice to have 9 playoff rotational players, but I think its more important that we convert a rotational wing to a rotational big wing.  We have no assets left unless we use 27 or Hardy.  Without that, I don't see a reasonable path to converting a current playoff rotational piece who has limited trade value into two playoff rotational pieces.
