2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[ItsGoTime]

New Orleans is a team that desperately need shooting and has a couple of bad contracts of their own in Graham and Temple. Graham is small, not really good defensively and will never work well next to CJ. Besides, New Orleans have another two small PG on the bench in Lewis and Alvarado. Mavs have THJ and Bertans that would fit much better next to CJ than Graham does. Temple is 35 and seems he has fallen out of rotation. He is only guaranteed for one year though. 

Of course Graham and Temple are not players I want, but they might be easier to move to a third team than either THJ or Bertans. 

So the questions:

- how much could cost for Mavs to trade Bertans for those two contracts? Would a couple of second rounders do it?
- how much could Mavs get by trading THJ for those contracts? Would protected 2023 FRP be a reality?

I am thinking about something like this:

NO: THJ
Sac: one of Temple or Graham and NO pick
Dal: Holmes and one of Temple or Graham

If there is an option to use Bertans in a trade that doesn’t involve more than our 22 pick (or Green) I’m taking it. I think THJ will be much easier to move than DB.
