2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[Smitty]

My first rough draft for the new roster (as of tonight)....certainly with lots of mistakes:

Two things that have stuck out to me with all of this SnT talk. The Mavs new FO can make a decision on Brunson's long term future with the team as early as right now, since he's eligible for an extension. That move/decision will be a big key in roster construction this year and next. Also, DFS has made very little money to this point and has developed nicely. He will be 29 next year and 3&D guys have been getting paid, it's his last chance for a decent payday... If the Mavs don't want to be the team that dishes out the "big" contract next year (~10M per year) then they can move him this offseason or he can be a SnT piece next offseason? I think DFS is the movable piece for any roster upgrades, with Green (development) hopefully being the cheaper replacement and Bullock being the vet replacement.
