2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

If you could flip JB for Robinson, a FRP and swap Bullock for Kemba, you wouldn't consider that a good haul.

-Put Robinson in the Tyson Chandler "how to play the 5" Academy. 
-Get off of Bullocks overpayment. 
-It also means both Powell and Kemba expire next year and an expiring Kemba is something that could be trade since his contract is so low.
-Kemba can still get you shot creation and buckets.  While I'd rather have JB's consistency, Kemba can go en fuego in a way that JB's never proven he can do.  Not bad for a rental and a contract dump.
-Getting your FRP back gives you the full arsenal of FRPs to play with.  That can help with the rumors of wanting to move off of KP/THJ.

I'd honestly be surprised if they can get that much for half a season and bird rights to JB.  And like Killer and Kamm said, we don't know that the Mavs can or want to retain JB for the contract he will earn.  I'd love to keep JB but if you have to trade him, that New York trade could open up a bunch of potential.

Either would work.  I doubt you'd get two picks but I wouldn't complain either.

If they do the Brunson trade to NY for a pick+, I am guessing that would be in conjunction with another move involving picks.  I have a real hard time seeing Cuban dump Brunson for picks without a reasonable replacement.  That is not really his style, especially when the team is playing so well right now.
