2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

1  That's wrong. Minutes and likely role do matter if you want to get GOOD players to sign here.  
2  Let's be real, adding an "all-star wing" via free agency is not an option anyhow.

While we can argue that they MIGHT find a marginally more desirable wing than Bertans or THJ for the txMLE (then again, they might not), the reality is that, given the contracts and ability, they are not going to consign THJ and Bertans to the 10-minutes-or-less club -- and once you've given them even 10-15 each, there's not enough left to entice a good player to come aboard.

BTW, I'm not saying that THJ and Bertans MUST be the backup wings ...but only that any replacement would be coming as a result of a trade of at least one of those guys.

1. Where did I say that minutes don´t matter? I said that the Mavs have minutes available. I said they need to be earned. I do not consider Frank or Green for any kind of given role right now. And we already saw that despite his big salary Bertans (remember that he didn´t come here as an asset) was a part of the 10 minutes or less club. That leaves THJ. A player that is limited to the SG/SF role. 
2. Where did I say that? I said the Mavs don´t have one right know. That´s why I am talking about available minutes for a potential free agent signing. Only current Mavs wing that is a given for 30+ minutes is DFS. Even Bullock is more of a 25 minutes per game guy (Has been in that kind of role for most of his career). There is room for at least one more guy in the same category.

I don´t know where all these strong opinions are coming from. This is the first full offseason for the new crew. Recent reporting that I have seen mentioned the Mavs search for another wing. That´s what I am going with. Not ruling out any scenario that adds a wing to the current roster.
