2020-2021 ROSTER TALK: Archived

[Jason Terry]

I think recent history has taught us that no contract is improvable.  Powell's production and contract to make him a positive asset and I think the Mavs value his leadership too much to pay to get rid of him.  

I don't hate or love the Derozan idea.    He'll be 32 to start the next season.  I don't think you lure him into a sixth man role, but if you gave him a 4-year contract, maybe he starts for you for a few years before transitioning into a super sixth man.  I just not sure his fit next to Luka on either end of the floor and his numbers are bound to take a dip playing with someone so ball dominant, especially in the assist category.  

The Derozan/Conley/CP3 ideas feel more like a win now move and I just don't think the roster is constructed this way, yet.

The Conley/CP3/Lowry fit makes much more sense to me. Not because they’re ball handlers. Because they’re 1) clutch shooters in crunch time which we need more of 2) off ball 3pt shooters which you can never have enough of and 3) great defenders which we would need if we let JRich and THj walk

The PG duties they possess would come into play much more in the regular season when Luka won’t be playing 40mpg. They would be like combining JRich and Derozan into one player. Still i don’t see CP3 or Lowry as a possibility(don’t think we are top 3 in their team choices). Conley is the only pipe dream that makes sense and that’s only if Utah is total failure in the playoffs
