Whether Lamb is dealt for Dragic, or is used with someone else (expiring Maxi?) in a larger deal, he turns the TPE into something that can be leveraged and combined with other players and makes if more useful for an in-season trade.This may be the best part of the scenario. Not necessarily for getting Dragic, but by making the TPE value combinable for future trades. Right now it's like having a free-meal voucher at Olive Garden when you really want something from Outback.
Wouldn't mind losing Burke and Terry. Would still like to see what Brown brings before trading him away. Seems like the "throw in" for deals often is the best value part of the trade. DP was like that and THJ fits also. So maybe there is something unlockable in Brown.
Hey, it's pre-season and almost everything is debatable right now.
