2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[Mavs2021]

This team needs a shake-up badly, but I have a real hard time to even come up with some realistic trades.

Trade 1:

THJ + Powell for Warren + Lamb + Bitadze

Trade 2:

Kleber + Bullock for Bagley + Len

This gives us enough financial flexibility to comfortably re-sign Brunson, DFS and Bagley next summer.
Doncic/Ntilikina
Brunson/Lamb
DFS/Green (Warren injury projection?)
Bagley/Omoruyi
Porzingis/Bitadze

Develop a younger team with some upside, so one or two can become key contributors for the future, while you wait for the Dragic/Favors buyouts. Hope you can convince them to join. Maybe TJ Warren is healthy by play-off time and you are looking at making a push through the play-in tournament with....

Doncic/Dragic/Ntilikina
Brunson/Lamb/Brown
DFS/Warren/Green
Bagley/Favors/Brown
Porzingis/Bitadze/Boban

You start Brunson, DFS and Bagley to show them that they are in a great spot to stay/re-sign with the Mavs.
