2020-2021 ROSTER TALK: Archived

[MAVS-SLO]

I think this series against Clippers really exposed every weakness our roster have. And saddest part of this lose is that we weren't defeated by their stars, but we were defeated by their role/bench players like Jackson, Mann...

So this offseason 2 thing i hope FO will fix:

Centers: One of the positions where second year in a row we are going to playoff without players knowing their roles. And second year in a row we don't have a clear starter on this position.

Point guard/Secondary ballhandler.

So going to offseason:

- Decline WCS option.
- Resign Bobi to vet min.
- Let Melli & Reddick walk.


? - Powell - Boban
Porzingis - Kleber
Dončič - DFS
? - Green
? - Brunson - Burke/Terry

With assest's we have, we don't have many options to bring that 3 star in Dallas so in my opinion we will need to take a gamble on a players who didn't fit in other teams and hope that they will fit in our roster.

With this we basically stay with J-Rich team option & Hardaway as a free agents.

In my opinion, with J-Rich opting-in in and then trade could bring us  a starting center. I think with Lakers cap space problems and players who want to leave them, we could try and gamble with Harrell or Drummond trade for J-Rich. They' are not perfect but if we could get them for nothig for resonable price we should take a gamble. Other player we should be looking is Turner. Holmes in my opinion will be paid much more what we are willing to pay.

So with that we still have around 22 mil. of cap space and that should be enough to pay a good PG. In my opinion that should be enough to try and bring a player like Lonzo, Dinwiddie to Dallas. If that fails, Norman Powell is a player we should be target.

After that we have a bird rights to THJ and i hope we will resign them for resonable contract.

So roster next year:

Harrell/Drummond/Turner (trade for J-Rich) - Powell - Boban (vet min.)
Porzingis - Kleber
Luka - DFS
Hardaway (bird) - Green
Lonzo/Dinwiddie (FA) - Brunson - Burke/Terry
