AROUND the NBA: Pat Bev Suspended 4 Games Next Season| PHX Fires Vogel

[DanSchwartzgan]

Is there some reason DAL would have any interest in those guys? It looks to me like 2 who have been around several years already, gotten opportunity, but who still can't shoot, on multi-year deals, and one of them is a good defender. Is there anything else?

I can see why PHI would want to move players who don't have to be defended and clog up the spacing for Harden and Embiid, but not sure why the Mavs would be interested, for the same reasons. What's the benefit?

Interesting.  I expected just the opposite reaction.  To me, Thybulle is the prize…the defensive wing we were supposedly interested in earlier in the offseason.   I think we can afford him on the floor in lineups that don’t include McGee just fine.

Korkmaz is the cost.  Similar dollars to Powell but spread over two years.  I think he would get very little play here.  But, on an after tax basis, pushing some of Powell’s salary to 23/24 is pretty valuable.  If you think the Philly side makes sense, I think getting Thybulle and cutting salary in 22/23 is a nice win for Dallas.
