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

[dirkfansince1998]

That's an interesting point.  As fans, should we have an experience/accomplishment expectation?  Is up and coming just another word for cheap or is it an actual strategy to get someone before they prove themselves to be good.

Another thought, do they need to be a 3 point shooter?  A strong roll-man in the PNR?  You certainly aren't getting both along with D, boards and blocks for what we have to offer.

As a fan I would prefer a younger option. Even if that goes along with some growing pains. Looking at the way the Mavs operate it´s an unlikely scenario. Typical Mavs move would be a draft day trade for someone like Capela or Turner (more likely Capela, don´t think they have the assets for Turner).

Shooting vs pick and roll is an interesting topic. Looking at synergy numbers Luka is the best pick and roll ballhandler in the league but the volume is down compared to past seasons. Difficult to identify the cause of this. I think one aspect is the way opposing teams defend the Mavs. Sending more double teams. Switching more. Not giving up the easy roll to the rim.
If that is the future of the team and they want to continue to play "Luka ball" spacing is probably more valuable than rim running. Luka (and Kyrie) will continue to play iso ball. A stretch big in the corner provides more value than a big that would clog the paint.
