2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[SkenfromLMF]

Seems like overkill to me. You'd be straight ADDING a ton of money (none outgoing) for a guy who's going to get maybe 10-12 minutes per game if all goes according to plan. Probably fewer minutes than that, actually.

On the other hand, I suppose it insulates you a bit in case Wood's work ethic/personality is so problematic that he goes full Rondo/Odom or something crazy like that. 

But, I see zero potential for those two to play together, if that's what you're thinking. Both of them are 5's and ONLY 5's. I think you can play Wood at the 4, but not if you expect to be competitive during that time.

My thinking is that having Holmes for 20 mpg would lessen the stress on needing another wing, due to Maxi, Green, and THJ being available and hopefully developing enough to be usable in the playoffs...

IF when the time comes we find a wing available for trade making between $10-15 mil then you can either trade Powell or pay OKC to take him.

IMO an option to keep in mind is the wing OKC just got for a future pick from Denver: J. Green. 

IMO this would be better than trying to bid on a FA with the TPMLE. It would also allow Dallas to split the MLE to bid on FAs who are only being offered Minimums. 

Now the drawback is using the TE is going to cost > 15 million in Tax and salary. But if you don't then continuing momentum is much more difficult even with the Wood trade.
