2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[Smitty]

I think we're all kidding ourselves if we believe that DAL will go the traditional route and "tighten up" their rotations for the playoffs. Yes, the key guys will see increase in minutes but we're a depth team now, with KP gone and THJ out/not being himself. This becomes more true if we have any injuries to our bigs. If Maxi, especially, or DP goes down DAL instantly becomes a small ball team, ala HOU when they we're on the cusp a few years ago. No, we won't play 10 guys meanigful minutes but we will likely see DAL remain a 9-10 player rotation, even in the POs. In that scenario, it'd be great to have another, proven guard.

*Not going to lose sleep if GD signs elsewhere. I just don't see the logic in tapping out or worrying about the development of guys that are so young/don't play big minutes now/shouldn't in the 22 Playoffs.

I think what you're saying is a fair opinion, it's just not one I agree with. For all the discussion on what KP is or isn't, what Dinwiddie is this year vs 2 years ago and the same for Bertans. It's literally the same thing for Dragic. Another guy making too much money that did something well a couple years ago. I'd rather see Green play ~15 min a night. OR showcase Dinwiddie the additional minutes. That's just where I am with it all. If Dragic wants to come here and never play a minute unless there is an injury to JB, SD or Green, then I guess I agree that the Mavs should add him (only at the expense of waiving Burke).
