2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[DallasMaverick]

You’ve said something similar to this a few times in defense of Burke with no real push-back. 


To me, Frank can be fine for the role you described for Burke. He’s $1.5M cheaper with the possibility of still having some upside. If the Mavs have determined that there is no upside for Frank, they need to move on from him too.

Dragic would be a different story. He would be the vet presence that at times can turn back the clock and win you a few games during the season and possibly be more of a presence in the playoffs (after playing a low amount of total minutes during the season). 

Those are the two types of players I think we should fill the last 5 roster spots with. Young/upside/redemption players or older, battle tested vets that can impart knowledge and at times turn back the clock. Neither of which does Burke fit in IMO.

Right.  Maybe just trade Burke for Steph Curry, plus whatever salary filler.
