2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[mvossman]

I tend to agree with most, if not all of this.

Consider Burke, Brown, Bobi, Frank and Chriss as roster flotsam.  They are there to help you get through the grind of the regular season and potentially offer small salary filler to a deal.  As far as 11-15 on a roster go, it is a pretty typical bag a meh that you would find on any NBA roster.  I would like if one of the 11-15 guys next season were this year's first round pick.

The 1-10 spots kind of break down as follows:

Guards (96 minutes): Luka, JB, SD
Wings (96 Minutes): DFS, Bullock, Green
Bigs (48 Minutes): DP, Maxi

Overpaid Snipers: THJ, DB

Mavs need to improve the Bigs group and would be nice to add a 4th to the Wings group as well.  I want them to hang on to Green and make their selection this year and see if they can develop some more cheap talent.  

I think that means, for me, that it comes down to Bullock vs Maxi.  I am not breaking up the 3 headed monster at guard (if JB stays).  DFS isn't going anywhere and DP has more value to the Mavs than anyone else.  

The Mavs may go a totally different route and look to deal the FRP and/or Green.  If it's my offseason, I am looking at dealing one of Maxi/Bullock and hoping to deal one of THJ/DB.

If your goal is to improve the bigs and add a wing, then the simplest route is to take advantage of Maxi versatility, push him to the wing group (as well as backup big) and trade one of your overpriced snippers (and probably adding the pick) for a legit starting big.
