2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[KillerLeft]

Lets say they did something like turn KP into Dragic and Holmes.  That was brought up in the threads right before the TDL.  The generally impression was that seemed light for KP.  I would have been a little disappointed in the return, but happy to get off of KP.  I would have been excited to see the team with a legit starting center who can P&R with Luka, protect the rim and rebound.  Powell would have been in his perfect spot as a 15 minute energy backup center.  Then you have DFS/Bullock/Maxi for your 3/4 spots.  Dragic would have been the perfect 3rd PG and in playoffs its probably a Luka/Brunson/Dragic for the 1/2 spots.  That is probably not a contender, but its a good team with a lot of fitting parts.  It also has no real bad contracts, and room to maneuver next off season.

What we got was so much worse that our collective assumed light return for KP.  This team feels like a bunch of ill fitting parts with some really bad contracts and no way to get better.  It was such a gut punch.  It seems like every offseason/TDL is more disappointing than the last.

I don't disagree with a word of this, pal. I'm right there with you. 

Has it sunk in yet that they couldn't do better than this? I mean, maybe Hakeem is right and they could've avoided including the 2nd, but Dragic/Holmes? It just doesn't seem like that was possible. 

So, it was this or nothing. This, finish this season (or longer, if he gets hurt) pretending KP is the answer to ANY question...putting up with people wondering if he's being used right...watching him get pick and rolled to death. Or, bite the bullet and get on with fixing this. I'm not trying to tell you it's good. 

We have now arrived at the first AA meeting. The Mavs finally admitted they blew it. Now starts the process of getting that 10 day chip, then then the 3 month, then the 2 year (however they do those in AA - you get my point). 

The myth of John Collins, Holmes, Ben Simmons, whatever...that only existed here on this board.
