2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[Jason Terry]

This is my idea for the off-season:

1. Sign JB for a reasonable deal,
2. Trade Bertans, JGreen, and the rights for the Mavs' FRP for Jerami Grant,
3. Trade THJ for Holmes and Holiday.

Mavs would have a starting line up:

PG Luka
SG JB
SF Grant
PF DFS
C Holmes

Bench:

PG Spencer
SG Holiday
SF RB
PF Maxi
C DP

Luka, JB, Spencer will play practically all Guard minutes which will give Mavs two playmakers at all times.

Grant, DFS, RB will play practically all Foward minutes which will give Mavs two good perimeter defenders at all times.

Holmes, Powell, Maxi will play all Center minutes as a three-headed center rotation which gives the Mavs a mobile center at all times and good depth at the position.

Detroit makes sense as a trade partner. I wouldn’t like giving up Green, but him plus the FRP seems like a fair deal for the expiring Grant. Hardaway and Burke as hometown Michigan guys going to Detroit makes sense as vets leading a young team. This is a way we could go if the mavs feel like Grant would fit

Also, Detroit picks at the top of the draft. Draft is top heavy with big men. They may view Grant as expendable
