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

[Mavs2021]

I really hope Mavs sell high on his recent plays

There is no sell-high. THJ is a self-preservation act, so playing well enough to f*** the tank is his way of job security.  THJ has no interest to see a top 10 pick walk into this place next year. Just like Kyrie does not want Scoot Henderson threatening his five year max extension.

Nobody is talking about this aspect of the game. People always act like athletes care so much about winning, that´s why they hate tanking. They also hate it, cause the higher the pick, the higher the threat you are getting replaced. Every CBA negotiation the NBAPA looks for ways to increase the NBA entry level stipulation so the current players have better job security at the expense of outsiders.

That´s why you hire a professional GM that makes tough choices.

Nobody is buying this changed THJ around the league. Sure you can trade him, but for Caris Levert, Joe Harris or Evan Fournier.
