2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[loki]

See, Burke offends me the least of all those players. I think it's because he has NBA skill in some really important areas. Like it or not, the dude can flat out score. 

Pinson, who I wouldn't mind keeping around somehow, is not remotely on Burke's level as a player. 

The Boban point is simple: even when the team NEEDS help at HIS position, playing him wasn't even a thought. Why? BECAUSE HE CAN'T BE PLAYED. That, to me, is NOT the situation with Burke at all. That's the difference. 

If your overall point is that the Mavs have too many players in this type of role, I can get behind that, maybe. But, I'll just never agree that Burke is somehow the poster child for this point.

Well, if he's overpaid, then it's certainly not by much. If moving him is something they want to do, it will be pretty easy to accomplish.

I completely agree that Burke is the better player. I've also resigned myself to the fact that Pinson and Boban are probably going to be here for team chemistry. That's the main reason I've focused on Burke/Brown as salary dump candidates.
