2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[soog]

I agree that between THJ/Bertans/Dinwiddie, one should be shipped out at least. I don't think the deadline is by the beginning of next season though. Even shipping one out with our 1st, we aren't opening up any space. I'd rather take the young prospect on a cheap contract and see how everything is fitting by next season TDL.

Agreed, definitely 1 of THJ/Dinwiddie is gone by start of next season. They are redundant.

The only way Bertans goes out is if you are sending a #1 pick with him and getting nothing in return.  That contract will be unmovable so we better get comfortable with it.

I think there’s the possibility that the mavs ship out one or both of Powell/Maxi this summer because of the logjam of unspectacular bigs, but they should only do that if they needed filler for a trade.  Since both Powell and Maxi roll off the books after next year there is no huge benefit to trading them unless you get something in return.

I think the best hope of roster moves this summer is probably:

Mavs send: THJ (or Dinwiddie) + Maxi + whoever they pick in the first round 
Mavs receive: ???

This also would fit the “flexibility” narrative Nico is preaching since the redundant nature of his recent acquisition make other people on the roster more expendable.
