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

[DanSchwartzgan]

I think neither Vuc nor Toppin suit to what Dallas needs. I would be disappointed a lot if this would be the result of the offseason. Mavs need to get excellent defenders next to Luka and Irving.

I'm a bigger Toppin fan than you probably (plus a NY deal is never going to happen, so probably not worth debating anyway).  But center is just a problem.  They tend to fall into one of three categories:

1.  Available, but not what we want/need

2.  Available, but not worth the potential asking price

3.  Unavailable

Add to the complexity the prevailing wisdom that you don't pay centers (so you certainly don't pay assets to overpay the player).  Then you have the style of play requirements as very few switchable centers can rebound and shut down the paint (and if they do they are in category 3).  

Who is left?
