2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[SleepingHero]

Totally agree about the idea that "effective THJ" which, contrary to popular opinion, has existed here in Dallas and might very well exist again, would be helpful and possibly not worth giving up on just yet. 

"effective THJ" has only ever existed under Carlisle as the coach. None of his other stops has THJ come close to replicating the kind of efficiency he put out under RC. 

With that in mind, I don't have much confidence in getting him back. And I'm quite disappointed. I wrote before the beginning of last season that we should move of THJ and cash in on his career year because he might likely regress. Turns out I was wrong on the timing by about a year. THJ has to be moved. Hopefully for someone that can either move Powell down the totem pole (i.e. Turner, Holmes, etc.), or for someone to replace him (i.e. Danny Green, Buddy Hield, Jerami Grant etc). 

Maybe I'm overthinking this, idk. I feel pretty strongly though that DFS is an NBA starter, and honestly, a better than average one. A good one, even. Further, I just don't think he should be viewed as expendable in any way, at least until there's another player who can do what he does on the roster.

DFS is 100% an NBA starter. He is a solid role player and exactly what this team needs more of. In fact the true goal of the Mavs is to get such good wing depth that DFS is moved to the bench!
