2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[ItsGoTime]

I think your view of what the bottom rungs of a title-chasing team should look like is unrealistic. It's not going to have guys who could fill regular roles (top 8-9) on most teams. (It's also not going to have a whole slew of development guys who the coach can't trust.)

Your idea to just use any ole guy in the Burke role is silly. It's clear you don't understand his value, but the Mavs do.

Finding an offense-creator is hard, and having an extra in that bottom 5 for "just in case" is valuable. The need arises with some regularity. They would love for Franky or Green to become that guy, but it's not as simple as just proclaiming them to be up to it. They tried to use them there but it didn't work. I'm sure they will try some more at times. But that is why you keep a guy like Burke, until and unless you have another in hand. 

Mavs have other more pressing issues. No desire to create more holes to fix.

I just think you’re making a hole where there is a small dent and the defense is what I find silly. 


What, in my expressed view of what the final 5 (the 11-15 roster spots) on the roster should look like is unrealistic, please tell me.

Frank is not just any ole guy, he started out his career as a PG. There is skill there and we see it as we watch him too. Outside of that, I also said, if he is not that guy, bring in someone else that fits the description of what I said. A vet like Dragic, or a guy determined to have upside that is MORE than a 3rd string player. When a player is determined that their best use is as a 3rd string player, the team has little to no use for them anymore cause the roster space is too limited and valuable. Plenty of reclamation/draft/undrafted/vet min vets to get every year to keep a guy who will not be more than the 4th guard on your team!
