ROSTER TALK: Mavs favs for Vogel if no HC job exists. Kyrie handshake deal?

[SleepingHero]

Powell is 11 million dead cap this year and Bertans is 16 million a year in dead cap until 2025. Westbrook is only 1 year. Deal with his BS for 1 year then he's gone. Walk into summer 2023 with basically only Luka, Dinwiddie, DFS, Bullock, and McGee (plus Wood and Maxi if you chose to re-sign them) and all your picks going forward....

I don't think Powell has ever been as useless as Westbrook has. Sure, he's unplayable in the playoffs. But in the regular season? Passable big on most nights.

Is Westbrick ever passable? I'm not particularly fond in intentionally tanking a season in which we don't have a draft pick.

You won´t convince them. They have been brain-washed by the national media. They probably also think that Westbrook is not the best player in the deal, but that doesn´t even matter. As you say the huge cap-relief alone makes the trade a win.

Do you seriously think adding Westbrook to this team is a viable/good idea...?
