2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[SleepingHero]

I’ve heard some rumblings in the NBA world that McCollum is viewed as a negative asset by most teams. Not sure after trading Brunson what the Mavs would have to entice Portland, also the defense would be terrible. 

P.S. I remember you from the old DB message boards, wondered where you all went. I went to Mavs moneyball but it’s not as active over there. Good to have found you all again.

Very glad you managed to find your way back! Hope you stick around!

I've seen rumors that McCollum isn't viewed very highly as well, especially since he's 30, coming off a collapsed lung, and doesn't defend. Which means a KP for McCollum package actually makes sense for both parties.

In an ideal world, we keep DFS off the table (though not mandatory), and try to do:

Brunson+THJ for Burks+Walker+ our 2023 FRP back

Then go to ATL and offer DFS+Maxi+1st+2nd for Collins

Then go to Portland and offer KP+ a filler contract (M.Brown, Burke, S.Broiwn)+ another 1st for McCollum+Nurkic.

Mavs new roster looks like:

Luka/Walker/Franky
McCollum/Burks/Green
Bullock/S.Brown
Collins/---/Chriss
Nurkic/Powell/Boban

Which besides for how freaking thin the PF position is, that's a squad. We could theoretically add Covington to that Portland trade if we added KP+ and greater 2M salary which would really round out the team in my own opinion. The lack of starting 3 and backup 4 is why I really would like to NOT trade DFS if we can help it. I just think that's the only attractive piece ATL would want in a Collins trade.
