2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[mvossman]

What if the MBT could somehow keep the WCF team together and add an instant offense sixth man candidate on the wing to compliment the DFS + Bullock combo? 

Ideally he might be a deadly 3pt shooter who can bring something to the table that DFS and Bullock don't, like the ability to handle and attack closeouts when teams double our ball handlers and dare our wings to make 20 threes per game. Even better, Dallas might look for a solid, team-first veteran who has playoff experience, who won't shrink from the moment. A tough as nails type, who was the second best player on a couple of playoff teams. That would be awesome.

What if they could ALSO add a big center to give them 15 minutes in the playoffs? A guy who will set bone crushing screens, offensive rebound, and might block a shot or two when teams decide to zone up and shut down Powell's lob game?

Here's my offseason plan:

Resign Brunson
Select the best player available at 26
Integrate Tim Hardaway Jr
Sign one of the many UFA centers like Drummond, Howard, McGee, Whiteside or similar for $2 million

I'm on board with all of this except that we have the tax MLE to spend on that center and I would rather go after a younger guy with some upside (Hartenstein, Jalen Smith) than a mid 30s vet that can't really move any more.
