Selling high on Rozier now makes sense from them and allows them to free up money and minutes for a 3-guard rotation of Graham/Lamelo/Monk.
The Mavs would also open up additional salary while presumably adding 2 starters for the price of 1. So the Mavs could then easily sign someone like Holmes and still bring back THJ, or even go after someone else bigger than that.
I don´t see much of an argument with the three guards to be honest. They could just let Monk or Graham walk imho. The better pro-Porzingis argument would be that he´s a still (perceived as) a massive talent upgrade over the available free agent centers like Kanter, Noel, Drummond, Theis, Holmes, Z. Collins, Ibaka, Dieng, Dedmon.
When you present the argument as Rozier + Theis vs. Porzingis, then it seems favourable for Porzingis.
I just want Sengun. He´s projected mid to late 1st this year, cause he´s an old school big in the vain of Nurkic, Valanciunas and Jokic. Good lord, please not.
