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

[Chicagojk]

If they really burned an unprotected future first with no assurances that Kyrie would resign, it's time to trade Luka and start from scratch.

I am not surprised there is no agreement.  But I will be disappointed if they don’t have a firm handle on salary range.  These are the type of conversations Nico is paid for.

What bothers me is how bad they are in trade negotiations.  Did we really have to take back a player who can’t move any longer (Morris) and give up a second round pick?  Should we have gotten a small asset either younger player or a second round pick or two?  It seems we get taken advantage every trade.  Heck if we got a second round pick back maybe we could have moved at the deadline with either Wood and Powell and gotten a bandaid fix down the stretch.
