TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[Kammrath]

Count me in as one who would be intrigued with the Mavs adding Micic to this roster.

The Bulls, Nuggets and Bucks had been mentioned in the past.  Bulls are probably out with the Dragic signing.   Nuggets would appear the favorite due to the Jokic connections.

It would be tough for the Mavs.  I saw Micic is looking for MLE dollars.   With our lack of assets it would be a tough fit.   It would make sense though if he was the target and not prioritizing Dragic though.   

Not sure how good he is.  He is bigger than some of the other Euro point guards, but he also is not a speed demon.

Is a sign and trade with OKC possible in this scenario?

I don't know how it would work, but only that OKC wants assets for him.  What assets means I do not know.   Nor do I know how a sign and trade works.   

BTW he plays on the same team with Roddy B and Shane Larkin.

Stein:

Several front office executives and player agents assembled here, when they have managed to duck the Twitter paparazzi hovering in the stands and hoping to document in-progress trade talks, attribute the gridlock in large part to the Brooklyn Nets' slow-moving search to find a potential trade destination for Kevin Durant.

The annual fierce competition for limited roster spots after the first wave of free agents lands, with the league's influx of 50-plus rookies every summer tightening things further, is another factor. Most notably ensnared in the wait for some renewed movement are restricted free agents Deandre Ayton and Collin Sexton, who were greeted by a limited number of teams with salary-cap space when free agency began June 30 and now see cap-space teams like San Antonio and Indiana weighing the prospect of holding onto their spending money in case they can jump into a broader Durant deal.

Whispers have increasingly circulated in recent days that Brooklyn, in response to an underwhelming array of Durant offers to date, is prepared to hang on to the superstar forward in hopes that Durant's desire to leave could soften between now and the start of training camp in late September. How much stomach Nets officials have to uphold that position — or if it proves to be a mere negotiating ploy — is a matter of debate.

Don't forget that the Nets are also trying to trade Kyrie Irving and still appear to have a market of exactly one purple-and-gold-clad team in Los Angeles interested in taking Irving on.

Well, he seems to be playing with BOTH Larkin and Beaubois, so he certainly has access to information about the Mavs organization.

I´m sure it´s very positive information.

Haha, yeah. With those two, it might not be.

Wish we had the ammo.  Wish we had a time machine so we could draft him instead of DSJ.

If we had a time machine we would hopefully pick Adebayo over him.

They literally picked the only guy within 4-5 picks in either direction who isn't still in the league. They would've done better throwing a dart at the list of who was available.

We don't even need to be that greedy, tbh. Even Monk would've been better.

In the end the Mavs ended up with the player they wanted all along...

I'm not greedy and I don't know if the Mavs would have had the patience to develop Bam.  Fair point though.  

The more I think about Mitchell's place in the star hierarchy, the more I'm convinced he'd be really, really good paired with Luka.  I'm probably just enamored with how thoughtful he was with the media during our series.

Very cool. Not sure he was worth those two firsts, but better late than never.

Don´t you see the brilliance of this post. This isn´t just about KP. They turned DSJ into KP. And now they have Frank who had the biggest highlight play of his career when he dunked on KP.
