2020-2021 ROSTER TALK: Archived

Sign THT, keep developing Bey and Green.  You could have a nice defensive rotation next year with:  Maxi, DFS, THT, Bey and Green.

Pretty underwhelming in my view. I do believe in Bey long term. But I'm not sold yet on THT...seems like he would become the next JRich/Delon to disappear in the lineup next to Luka.

Not really because the Mavs would most likely lose Richardson and THJ in that case. Adding one legit starter but losing two fringe starters isn´t really an upgrade.
Not to mention that the only remaining interesting options in free agency are RFA. In my opinion not having capspace in the summer is a good thing.
Love is obviously not a player that any team should take back without asking for some kind of compensation but if the Cavs are willing to attach a younger prospect, pick or useful rotation piece like Nance that´s not a bad idea.

I wouldn't want to keep both for what it's going to cost. However they can keep one of Richardson/THJ pretty easily. For example: Pick up WCS team option, waive Powell, re-sign THJ at $15m/yr. At that point they have between $22-30m in room available depending on where the salary cap falls. Small moves like WCS/Burke and cash + 2nd round pick could free up more as needed.

You could get two quality rotation players with that money. Right now I'm interested in Holmes and DJJ, but there are other options as well. For instance, if Dallas wants another playmaker next to Luka and isn't ready to commit to Brunson, sign one of Lowry/Conley/Schroder/Dragic.

You can still develop the younger players in that scenario without the Love contract anchored around your neck.
