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

[Jakeospikez]

Great insight from Dinwiddie there. Good to have a former teammate's perspective on the defensive plan around Luka. I don't really see Brooks as a big need if the Mavs keep Green. Green covers the same positions that Brooks would, the wing that can cover an elite PG (i.e. Ja, Curry) for Kyrie. The glaring holes right now are the obvious big wing and rim protector in his lineup, so what everyone's been talking about is really already on point. You can use Dinwiddie's info to be a little more descriptive on the needs now though. The biggest need is a big wing that can guard 2-4, or 2-5? plus elite 4's (i.e. Giannis) so that Luka doesn't have to aka DFS' replacement. Walker/Hendricks almost certainly take that spot if they're there at #10. Leonard Miller should be a solid option with a small trade back. Otherwise gotta find the right vet 4 trade target that can handle a Giannis level defensive assignment. I do wonder what their thoughts on Wood at PF are. He's been pretty solid at 1 on 1 defense vs non 5's especially on the perimeter vs quick guards, but maybe he just has too low bbiq to handle PF, or just wants too much money or something.
