2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[DanSchwartzgan]

So let's say for the sake of argument that Dallas S&Ts Brunson to NY for Reddish, Noel, and our 23 pick. Then they get Payton with the taxpayer MLE and keep Pinson. The roster would look something like this:

Luka / Payton / Hardy
Dinwiddie / THJ / Pinson
Bullock / Reddish / Green
DFS / Maxi / Bertans
Wood / Noel / Powell

I have Ntilikina as the odd man out, but maybe they move someone else in the 3rd column to make room. That's not a bad 15-man roster. And they'd also have all of their future picks back for trade opportunities as they arise.

I think that makes great sense if that is how the Brunson deal works out.  Hardy could be a two way, which would alleviate the issue for the 15th slot.  

I’m not sure Dinwiddie is necessarily the starter in the scenario outlined.  Not enough playmaking in the second unit.
