2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[Branduil]

With the Dragic talk (and THJ coming off of injury), I wonder if the player divided might not be Dinwiddie.  

On the Locked On NBA Draft podcast, Sac traded down to 6 and got Brogdon and a future Top 5 protected first for Holmes and 4.  Point being Sac wanted a bigger PG to rotate with Fox and Davion Mitchell.  

Dinwiddie for Holmes, Harkless and maybe #37 (Two-way) would be similar outcome in terms of a larger guard and make Dragic a third guard here rather than a fourth guard.  It would also give Dallas more front court versatility and solve the C/PF rotation for years to come with prime aged guys if you assume they extend Wood in six months.

Holmes/Powell           Bertans
Wood/Maxi                Harkless
DFS/Bullock               Green
Brunson/THJ              Pinson
Luka/Dragic               Frank

I cannot imagine Dallas doing this, tbh. Two bigs, no 5-out, no 2-PG-at-all-times? It's the complete opposite of the approach that just got them to the WCF. I could see the Mavs replacing Dinwiddie at some point, but not with a guy who is half-retired, and not trading him for backups or awkward fits with the center they just traded for.
