I don't want to see any of you that refuse to even consider trading someone like DFS or Maxi be upset when the trade deadline passes and nothing gets done and news starts to come out that the Mavs dangled THJ, KP, and Powell but couldn't find any takers. No one wants our overpaid role players.
Its a fine argument. It can also be turned around. If Maxi and DFS were on other teams, they would be many of ours prime targets. Why trade the players with great value and risk to get some in return that are not? The key is to keep the players that do well and that are fit with Luka. Its not only making a trade, for the sake of making a trade. But improve as a team.
Need to keep the great players that fit, and trade the ones that dont. If they have less value, they have less value, then we need to be better identifying who we can realistically trade them for and perhaps lower the expectations somewhat. Im am convinced with the KP, Powell and THJ we could make something happen to improve us. A player that is a better fit.
In the strategy you suggest, the huge risk is keep further piling on players that are not a fit, and trading away those that are a fit, which increases the team related issues.
