2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[cow]

I'm only really interested in trading DFS if we can find another wing that can replace his defense. Siakam, Simmons, Covington (+ a lot more) are necessary returns if we're letting go DFS.

On a serious note, we've pined for RoCo so long that we didn't realize we already had him.  I'd take DFS over RoCo at this point in time.  I was reading on another board that RoCo is the guy you love until you have him on your own team and then you see all the shortcomings.  The dude does get traded a whole lot.  

I don't think Simmons is a replacement for DFS.  They both play defense but DFS is the floor spacer and Simmons is the playmaker.  That tandem on defense could be fun.  As much as we think Simmons value has tanked, I don't think the Mavs have the ammunition to get him.  And that might be a good thing as despite our teams faults, the chemistry is mostly great and KP is enough of a pro to overcome the shortcomings he has with Luka.  

Siakam is interesting but who knows what the cost would be.  I still think a Grant for THJ swap is super interesting and one I'd be willing to break my "no FRPs" stance for.  Turner is interesting too as I think he'd be easy to retain.  Pacer's asking price seems insane though.

Maxi's the guy I'd look at trading.  As much as I love him, he's not a starter.  We've got 2.6 starters on this team in my estimation so upgrading that would be nice.
