2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[mvossman]

Speaking about distressed assets, I have revisited the Tobias Harris idea. He is way overpaid as we all know. But, he only has two seasons left - one season to try it out before he becomes a big expiring. Good part of course is also that he shouldn't cost assets, as Philly has their stars - they have to surround them with good role players. And Mavs have plenty of those. 

So I would trade THJ, Maxi and Bullock for Holmes and Harris (can be two separate trades). Sacramento gets either Bullock or Maxi. Trade would be on draft night to match the salaries

Sacramento changes Holmes they don't need with a good wing (either Maxi or Bullock) that fits their needs. One could claim Holmes is worth more, but I don't think it is a FRP more. A SRP or two should not be an obstacle.

Philly gets two shooters to surround their two stars. 

Mavs get a bit more top heavy while keeping all their assets. Tobias expiring deal could be very useful in 2023 when Mavs get all their assets available. They also keep 2022 pick. The price is 10 mil of additional salary. 

Luka, SD
Brunson, Green
DFS, Brown
Harris, Bertans
Holmes, Powell

I'm not sure I send out Maxi for Holmes.  There are a lot of folks questioning why we even want Holmes, and looking at just this season its a valid question.  I would be more willing to send out Bullock than Maxi, especially if I had faith in Green taking on more minutes.

I also struggle with Harris.  I'm not sure he is any better than Brunson or Dinwiddie, and probably more of a defensive liability.  I think I would rather close a game with the three PGs, DFS and Holmes.  If we are sending out Powell and Bertans I might be interested.
