2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[SleepingHero]

As scary as it is, KP is probably the key for us becoming a contender.    If he can be a lower tier 2nd best player, this team is not far away.

It's funny I keep waffling back and forth with KP. When he's out for 4-5 games, I think "Sheesh, the guy can never be healthy, you can't have him be in a prominent role on the team and expect to win anything big."

Then when he hits the floor and is playing like he's healthy I go: "Oh... Yeah this guy can vaunt the Mavs to a top 4 seed and can raise the ceiling in a significant way."

KP when good is exactly what we need. But it's hard to rely on that. After this latest injury in which someone just landed on him funny I'm ready to move on from him at the right price. I've always said he needs a chance where he has a totally healthy offseason, and he's had that. The results are mixed and he still can't stay healthy. 

I still think the ideal is trying to get a sub-all star or an assortment of role players. Colin Sexton, Brandon Ingram, Buddy Hield, these are the type of guys I'd have my eye on. Anything less the Mavs are selling themselves short. 

If KP can play up to his 25/10/2 potential, then he could get packaged for a more ready superstar... Say 1 Lillard/KAT/Tatum...? Unrealistic to say the least but who knows how KP will look in February?
