2020-2021 ROSTER TALK: Archived

[HanspardsShowerVoice]

The best option for a secondary playmaker - IF we think that is the greatest need - might be Victor Oladipo.

I would not be surprised that Houston falls out of contention and they make another move to further reduce their tax bill, and VO would be the easiest piece to accomplish that goal.

Between Oladipo, Derozan, Lowry, George Hill there should be a cheap rental available that is a clear upgrade over Burke and play in your crunch time 5 in the playoffs.   Honestly, Id rather them take a cheap rental than overpay just because someone is 25 and try to shoehorn him into a "foundational piece" when they're not one. I agree with the sentiment that the roster as currently constructed is pretty good. No need to shake everything up for a player that's probably not worth shaking everything up for (*cough* Buddy Hield *cough*). The bar of "better than Trey Burke" just isn't that difficult to clear.

I think J Rich is as much of a secondary playmaker as the Mavs need alongside Luka.

I'm thinking more along the lines of someone with a career PER better than 12.6 and a career positive offensive Plus Minus.
