TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[DanSchwartzgan]

Not sure, but I think he's talking about Ayton, not Turner.

What do you think about a Turner target, @"DanSchwartzgan"? Is there some hope there, or is it a total pipe dream? If possible, what's your opinion about whether it would be the right move?

My bad.  Should have clicked the link.

I like Turner here.  They have to know him well.  He's been around the building working out for years.  I suspect he wants to be here and there is the Duffy angle.  I think he's a good fit and I think he's attainable.  Health is a concern, but it is a concern for Maxi and Dinwiddie and THJ also.

Kind of an interesting deal here in that Indy can't take on any additional salary before the new season.  They are right up against the tax line for 21/22.  It can be done after the draft if Indy takes back less salary.  If Indy is taking back extra salary, it will have to be completed after the moratorium.  

My guess is a 26 for 31 pick swap, our next available first, Green and Powell.   They will make it sound like Dallas gave up two firsts, but moving down 5 spots in this draft isn't that big of a deal.  Green as the outgoing would signal Hardaway stays at least until the TDL.  I think they stash #31 (I still think it is Kamagate).  Your nine man makes good sense at that point:

Centers:       Turner/Maxi/(Bertans)     Chriss/Boban
Wings:          DFS/Bullock/THJ            Frank/Brown/Pinson
Ball Handler:  Luka/Brunson/SD           Burke
