Poetl is generally overrated, imo. He's pretty mediocre, and unless I'm way wrong about his game, he's not really even the type of center Dallas can play. I don't think he's nearly as good of a fit as Lively here, and there's almost no way they have enough role for both of them, especially in the important games. Finally, he is guaranteed almost $20 million per season for the next FOUR YEARS, the last of which is a freaking player option, lol.
NO, THANK YOU.
I have been against it as well and would prefer to use my assets on a wing to finish up the roster. Look for a cheap backup in the offseason or by small trade.
But with Toronto going nowhere and a lot of big money decisions, I wonder what they do. There isn't a lot of demand for a Center making 20 million per year for the next 3-4 years. Especially one not playing well. So, I wonder if you could get him at a discount? Dealing with Toronto is a nightmare though. Plus, they would have to deal with blow back from potentially giving the Spurs their pick this year for the Poetl trade. I could make the case that Poetl may be more attractive than Cappella in Dallas. Not sure where I fall on that argument though.
What if the Cost was Holmes plus Hardy and salary? Would you do that? The issue is the Mavs are pretty limited on what they can offer....or better what they want to offer. With no expiring, teams need to hold their nose a little for the packages we would be offering.
