2020-2021 ROSTER TALK: Archived

[ItsGoTime]

Not against a THT signing. I just don´t think he should replace THJ. Perfectly fine with THT instead of Richardson. He has already shown more upside as a playmaker and is at least just as good/bad on defense.
I don´t think the Mavs can afford to go after another big in the 10m + range as longs as KP, Powell, Maxi and WCS are all on the roster. That´s why I am out on Holmes in a no KP trade scenario. Holmes + THT really hurts the spacing and the Mavs would need to make a miracle signing to replace THJs volume/efficiency with the rMLE.

I get where you are coming from and in all honesty, this is more of a discussion of Holmes instead of THJ too cause I think he gets the bigger salary as opposed to THT (THJ would get the higher salary between him and JRich if we ran them back, plus THT would replace JRich's spot in the starting group). To me, we need starters to replace our great bench players. 

The "if" in my mind is whether or not those two players are good starters on a contending team more than "if" they have or can gain some semblance of a 3 shot. "If" we get our future starters in place, we can then focus on solidifying the needs from the bench with specialists. The game is won in WAY more ways than 1, however, I'm a truther to the defense wins championships mantra. Now that we seem to be a playoff bound team, time to up our acquisition game to match.

Also, I edited my last reply pretty late so not sure you read this:

A team having to double Luka, guard KP on the perimeter guard Holmes on the PnR and keep close to DFS in the corner sounds like plenty of spacing for THT to operate.
