2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[Mavs2021]

Also very interested in Jusuf Nurkic. 

What will his price be? Would he settle for the tax payer MLE to play with Luka? 

I think when he is healthy and on the court he is one of the best bigs in the league.

I think ultimately, he´ll re-up with Portland, cause that´s the place that makes most sense: money + role. If he does not want to play there anymore, then we certainly come into play. 



I remember when Cuban had a premature ejaculation over VAJ and in the end the same money could have signed Julius Randle, Brook Lopez AND DeMarcus Cousins that summer. Let´s hope the new MBT is a lot smarter.


The legit contenders that need starting centers like Golden State or Brooklyn will likely try to re-sign their own free agents on the cheap like Drummond and Looney, same goes for the play-off contenders like Portland (Nurkic), New York (Robinson) and Charlotte (Harrell + draft a center at euither #13 or #15).

Nobody has a better package of starting role, age timeline and projected future salary than us.

The free agent spots like Houston and Detroit aren´t exactly destinations or/and have a few young centers already plus incoming high end draft picks. Detroit doesn´t even have that much capspace considering MB III has a $28M caphold. So they have to get his extension over the line quickly to even have the necessary money to pay somebody like Ayton.


Imho people will be surprised what you can get for $6.8M or whatever the exact number is.

Outside of the trade and draft options, I´m pretty confident that we can get one of Hartenstein, Smith or Bryant (all 25 or younger) to bite on our offer. And if they stay with their respective teams that means Zubac, Gafford and Bitadze should be available, who are also very capable young centers.
