2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[ItsGoTime]

Me too!  Bullock AND Maxi.  Throw in DFS and those are the kind of players I want to be adding to this thing - not subtract.  I think that some Mavs fans have gotten so used to one way players that they can't see the value of these two way guys!  Finally, the Mavs have started accumulating just the kind of players that are perfect around Doncic (can hit open shots, defend at a high level), and y'all want to trade them?  Players that need to be gone are the remaining one ways:  THJ is obviously the guy.  I would take Bullock all day, every day over THJ - even at same salary.  He is guarding 1-4 regularly and until the last few games, has been absolutely amazing shooting the ball.  I would actually posit that he is being OVERUSED recently, which maybe has a bit of an effect on his shooting.  He has been playing around 40 min per!  But his D has been so good, so versatile, that he can't come off the floor.  

Sign me up for a trade that finds a home for THJ, brings in a useful big, and continues the growth that this team has experienced the last couple of months - and accelerated since the trade added another point of attack.  They have a great model going with player skillsets and are rotating them well having the personnel to do so.  I believe that it is always nice to have more shooters, so I don't want to just give THJ away for air, but having SD/RB on the floor is preferable to him for this roster.  If you can upgrade at the 4/5 using him, then do it.  If you can get a really nice player - such as a Collins to help at a position of need, then yeah, make a bigger trade... but TH?  No thanks.  Even though he'd be good here, I wouldn't trade Bullock and Maxi for him even if the money was the same. I also believe that JG is growing into that same desired skillset and shouldn't be simply jettisoned in a trade that doesn't move the needle towards being a 2-way team.  

This team has unlocked its potential by being able to attack the defense no matter if they try to take our primary away, and then being long and versatile on D.  I can't see the Mavs moving away from that.

Raise your hand if you don’t want to trade THJ for the perfect fitting starting C on this team. No one? Anyone here. 3, 2, 1 go! Still?


Ok, now that there were no hands raised. Name your trade! Name names that you believe THJ is worth, would be available and the other team agrees with your assessment.
