2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[mvossman]

I love JB and DFS. But I think DFS is the more important player because his type is rarer compared to the number of guard types like JB. Also, although JB has improved a lot defensively, he still has defensive limitations which were exploited by the GSW last game.

I think, if the Mavs do it, I am okay with JB, R. Bullock for Marcus Smart + scrub. Smart is the better fit, at least theoretically at this point. If they can get a FRP, maybe they can aggregate that with Powell and Maxi for Collins? (semi-dream scenario).

I would argue that Brunson is the rarer player because he is a high level creator.  He is not your typical guard type.

If we are trading Brunson I would probably rather do Smart than Grant, but if we do that trade this team will be really hurting for some offense, especially with THJ out for the year.
