TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

I just love THJ

[dirkfansince1998]

So the hottest names didn´t change teams. Non of the Raptors guys. Non of the Bulls players. Not Bogdanovic. Not Collins.

[SleepingHero]

Insane none of the Raptor guys moved.

Neither Bog. Our assets outside of Green, Hardy, and our one tradeable first are dookie.

Good...I'm glad they didn't give up Wood for free. They will still need him for the rest of the season...couldn't afford to let their frontcourt get even thinner with no upgrade option at the deadline. If he ends up walking in free agency and they lose him for nothing, so be it.

It's not over yet.  KP deal announced after deadline.

[Mavs2021]

Nobody wants him.

Hopefully they can rebuild the relationship, he contributes for us, he recognizes how low his value is, and we get him back for a song.

That´s what I said, when people talked about the extension. There will not be a no huge demand for him in free agency. He´ll get the same 12-13M as last time. Question is just whether he´d leave out of spite to sign the MLE elsewhere rather than stay here.

Not for 3 1sts.

Extend Wood

[SleepingHero]

Trade Deadline IS OVER!

[SwisherPrice]

THJ will be here for a long time...a very long time!

Extend Wood

Sounds like it will be a cheap option.  

With him not having a trade market, giving him away seems foolish.  You have to think a guy that is capable of 20-10 can be useful...somehow.

[Scott41theMavs]

No starting center, no defensive stalwarts, THJ still shooting us out of games... if Love and Bev (best case scenario) are our adds, we aren't getting past the second round. Even with a legendary backcourt.

[mvossman]

Disappointed.  Thought there were some real opportunities with Nets.  This roster is too small.

Makes me think that they aren´t as all in as the Kyrie trade suggested and that @"DanSchwartzgan" take about capspace in the summer might have been the driving force behind their decisions.

Maxi is a defensive stalwart.

THJ+Wood still here is a sad sight. 

But perhaps the buyout market will be kind. A guy like Dragic can be a big get for chemistry.

I'm thinking they may regard the pupu platter of free agents this offseason as more valuable. He must be a real problem in the locker room.

[Mavs2021]

Trade Deadline IS OVER!

Can still be reported in the next 15-20 minutes, but yeah.

I´d start with Bitadze.Then hope for Patrick Beverley and Dario Saric.

Doncic/Beverley/Ntilikina
Irving/THJ/Hardy
Green/Bullock/Lawson
Kleber/Saric/Bertans
Wood/Powell/Bitadze

Not the big splash, but would really add to our depth. Saric has very good play-off stats in Europe and the NBA. Get him minutes, let Wood´s thumb heal properly.

 He must be a real problem in the locker room.

There needs to be a 30 for 30 about Christian Wood.
