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

[Mavs2021]

The Mavs just need guys who are tough and will do their job.   Ideally long guys who can defend multiple positions...and help out near the rim.  I keep going back to the Marion and Chandler types.   Just guys who do the dirty stuff or the small stuff that allow your stars to be stars.    Guys like Maxi and Josh do some of these, but they are not the caliber as the guys above.    Get a few of these guys who are pros and this thing looks much better.   At least until Kyrie decides he wants to protest animal rights.   

So if Kyrie returns, my focus is find a really good 4th starter.  One who fits the roster.   Find a veteran or uncover a hidden talent who can do the dirty work.  Think 7-8 man type.    Buy a second round pick or find an undrafted guy who you think you can develop.   Is that enough to be a favorite?  No, but it is on the right track.  Also, clear out the end of the bench.  Yes, on McGee.  Can't bring him back when he provides no use....no matter what his contract is.

Who is the 3rd starter? THJ, Wood, Bullock, Green? Doesn´t really matter, cause that "4th" starter needs to be better than them for the Mavs to become a contender during a Doncic/Kyrie era.

Get rid of Kyrie. Look at the history of the big trade:

Suns/Nets, unless Suns win a Championship BUST, the play of Bridges alone and Durant´s continuing physical struggles are enough already to say the Nets didn´t lose the trade.
Wolves/Jazz, the rookie play of Kessler alone already makes the trade a wash.
Mavs/Nets, certainly hasn´t made us any better or them any worse, and they have a 1st round pick and no 200/4 headache.
Clippers/Thunder, SGA is a better player than PG13 right now. 
Cavs/Jazz, both teams look exceptional, because Mitchell is young.
Lakers/Pelicans, without the bubble fluke the Pelicans run away with that trade and AD was young, too.

The recent evidence suggests these lopsided major trades for players in their 30s usually are a major bust for the team allegedly getting the best player.

Would you rather have Russell, Vanderbilt, Beasley, Bamba, Hachimura or Kyrie?

Cost wasn´t that different.

GTFO if you can, but I´m not sure the Lakers are dumb enough to trade for Kyrie. They were not a month ago.

I want that 9th pick.

There were two players I said would be perfect next to Luka.
#1 was Jaylen Brown long before you all still said Mavs should turn down Brown/Smart for Porzingis.
#2 was Anthony Edwards before he even played a college game.

How good would one of these look with Luka right about now, Antonio?

I feel the same way about Taylor Hendricks. Get this kid.
