2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[ItsGoTime]

Why should there be pushback when stating who Burke is, and noticing that he has a well-defined role to play on this team when needed?

Burke is who he is. He's not likely to be moved, because of all the reasons I already provided.

Re Franky, it's not an either-or between him and Burke. 

Franky's emerging role has been a developing 3-and-D wing, not at PG. (His competition in being kept long-term is probably Green, not Burke.) It doesn't look like Franky has the offense-creating skills that the Mavs want in the PG's, but he can play D and they are working on his C&S skills, with some degree of success.

I just don’t see the need for Burke that you are trying to create when we have the skills to fill that role on the team already in Frank, while he is training to get to a level where he can crack the rotation (and if he does get there, he still has the same ability). If he’s not the guy, bring in the guy…heck, Pinson is being guaranteed a spot on the roster, make HIM that guy! Whatever the case may be, there is no reason to keep a guy like Burke on the roster. I don’t see the roster spot value in a guy that has a best use as a 3rd string player.

Sadly he's not good filler until the 26-27 season. That huge expiring contract should be able to land something decent.

You’re probably right, my bad!
