2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

Any chance Detroit gives up Grant + Hayes? Pistons reportedly wanted to give THJ more money than the Mavs and Hayes currently looks like a JAG and will always be second fiddle to another young PG in Cunningham. So would a THJ+Burke+Green+Moses+2nds work?

I think Grant should be one of key targets for Mavs. I think it was NO that wanted to pay more to THJ, not sure about Detroit. In any case, I don't think Detroit would be willing to part with their best player for a bunch of underperforming overpaid Mavs players (based on their current play) and a couple of second rounders. I think the price would include at least two protected FRP. That means before putting Hayes into discussion. My offer would be Bullock, Powell and 2 FRP. They can have Moses and Green too, if they want. Mavs don't seem to want to develop them anyway.

I fail to see the Hayes part. He has been given all the opportunity he could get and really delivered a substandard performance. I am not sure a team that considers themselves as contenders will have the patience to wait for him. We already have Ntilikina in that reclamation back up PG spot.

Edit: Grant. This is a prime example of recruiting, imho. Convince him that he wants to go to Dallas (which of course means leave Detroit) and I am sure a deal with Detroit can be made. I am quite confident they will listen to his wishes, as long as Dallas can come up with a reasonable offer.
