2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[Jason Terry]

I'm wondering if we are looking the wrong direction for how the Mavs might be trying to fill slot 15 while also solving the THJ puzzle (by packaging him with Powell, or some other add-on set) for a bigger salary.

Two other approaches ...
1 They will leave the 15th slot mostly open, using it to cycle in prospects, until they find one they really like, and keep THJ as a scorer off the bench, with Bertans being the alternative when a bigger player is needed, or
2 They divide the problem again (like they did with KP), and swap THJ for TWO players, each making less and one of them being a 2-way decent wing (perhaps the other being an undesirable), resulting in using up that 15th slot.

I don’t think the mavs view Hardaway as a puzzle that needs solving. I think they view it as we are adding THJ and Wood to the same team as last year. Offensively we should be elite
