2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[Jakeospikez]

Collins was a plus defender before Trae Young arrived. If the current set-up is the way forward then Collins should be high on the target list.

The guy that will haunt us forever is Jarrett Allen. Dante Exum, a very late 1st round pick and an early 2nd round pick for Allen/Prince. Given the stupid amount of picks we spend on Richardson/Wright´s equal performance levels to Prince (and his contract), we basically could have traded Trey Burke for Jarrett Allen.

Need to constantly be looking out for deals like this. They're always out there. I was saying to get Bullock for dirt cheap when he was done at Detroit. Also with KCP, Bobby Portis, etc. Usually some players out there that are great buy low candidates that will contribute to winning and I don't think they're really that difficult to spot. Someone like Collins is already established and has a clear place in the league. He had some strong suitors when he was in FA and he will have lots of suitors now if he's on the trade block. Really doubt there will be value in trying to outbid other teams there. Turner may even get stronger bidders than the THJ + 26 everyone is trying to throw out.

Sayin it again, imo Jaxson Hayes is a decent candidate to be like Jarrett Allen was back then. He should be a much better fit on this team. It may be possible to do a THJ based deal with NO. They were the team that was trying to get him this past offseason before he took a paycut to stay and from what they're saying, sounds like they could still use a volume 3pt shooter. They likely want to get off their Devonte Graham contract, so there's some options to get Hayes while still keeping the 26th pick. Although Graham is not someone the Mavs would want, he is cheaper than THJ. Maybe could do a multiteamer involving THJ (+some other expirings?) + 26 where they trade Hayes and shed Graham to someone else.
