I've been thinking about that... and although I like the thought behind that idea, I just can't see Anfernee accepting the role of 6th man. Whereas, Coby White might, if the Mavericks can get the Bulls to part with him. He might be swayed by the possibility of being Kyrie's replacement in the future, a couple of years away, and a bigger contract on a winning team. As a bonus to the Mavericks, Coby is 2 inches taller and a year younger than Anfernee, and on a cheaper contract.
Starting 5:
- Kyrie, DJJ/Green, Luka, PJW, Lively/Gafford
Subbing in for Kyrie:
- Coby, DJJ/Green, Luka, PJW, Lively/Gafford
Subbing in for Luka:
- Kyrie, Coby, DJJ, PJW, Lively/Gafford
I brought up the idea and have said I like Coby or Sexton in this role as well.
I think the key thing to remember with Anfernee accepting the role is one it wouldn't really affect his overall minutes and second he and Luka share the same agent so his desires will be expressed before any trade.
During championship runs players will usually sacrifice something. In a couple of years (and hopefully several chamionship runs) maybe its Kyrie thats coming of the bench and Anfernee starting.
