2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[Chicagojk]

Also, let me add.  I was pretty vocal about my disappointment with this offseason.  With that being said, I disagree with those who think this team is a far away from being a contender.   A smart, disciplined front office should be able to fill the weak points of the roster and improve around the edges while keeping flexibility for a big trade as a final piece.    True, most scenarios are dependent on a healthy KP to either fit here or be moved eventually and the start of this year has eroded confidence in this at the moment.  

But, if this team upgraded their starting center or starting PF (depending how you view KP).   Finding a starting center will be easier than a do it all PF imo.   Add one more ball creator.   And then see if you can upgrade one of Bullock or DFS on the wing.   These may not be filled with all stars but they are clear ways to improve this roster.   It may not be a homerun but string together a few doubles and you still score.

Maybe some of these X's are filled with DFS, Bullock, Frank, Powell, Frank.  Preferably as bench roles, but maybe one can still start.   

The mavs front office needs to be disciplined and smart and make good evaluations.   While is may not uncover an all star, you can find upgrades with good decision making.
