2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[DanSchwartzgan]

This is my own worksheet for how the roster (and roster room) stands, and how it's likely to be manned going forward. If you add someone to a certain group, someone in that group will have to go.

POS                  KEEPER                        COULD BE TRADED______NEED A ROSTER SLOT FOR INCOMING?                 
BIGS (4-5)        Maxi [Bobi]                     Powell, Bertans                   Chriss
  
WINGS (5-6)     DFS, Bullock                   THJ, Green, Franky              Brown
   
POINTS (4)      Luka, JB, SD, [Burke]

Agree with your points about Burke and Boban.  It is amazing how much ink gets spilled over the 11-15 slots on this roster.

I might change the categories a little, but I'm in general agreement with where people are lining up.  I'd do Luka and JB as Keepers, which is somewhat synonymous with untouchable.  Next category would be "would like to keep", meaning I'm OK if they go out for a clear upgrade, but my preference is these guys would be part of the ongoing core.  That would include Maxi, DFS, Bullock and SD.  "Could be traded" would be the same people as you've listed.  My meaning is I don't dislike any of them, but if I'm trying to come up with matching salary, this group is where I start.  I assume "need a roster slot" is synonymous with "willing to cut" to open up a roster slot.  We already need to cut one guy if 26 takes up a roster slot and we don't do a 2/1 or 3/2 type trade.

I wonder if trading THJ now isn't selling low.  Seems likely he's still here at the start of the season as the TDL or even the summer after would be better times to get value for him.  But, if you keep him to try to restore value and keep all of the "keepers", then you are left building a package around expiring Powell, overpaid Bertans, Green and a couple of picks.

Not doable. Mavs can't get any 2022 free agent in any way this summer who will sign for more than 6M-ish. This is assuming they re-sign JB but very likely still applies if they don't.

Is it technologically possible for a moderator to automate a process that puts up a S&T disclaimer any time someone posts a S&T idea without showing the math of how the posted idea gets the team under the Apron.
