TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[mvossman]

How about we keep ours assets then wait for Myles Turner to be a free agent next summer, and sign him then? 

Smart move would be to see how he bounces back from his injury next season. He's been trending down in recent years, not ideal for a big man playing professional basketball. Didn't we just recover from the Porzingis flop? 

Trust in Nico.

Assuming we sign Brunson, its really hard to see how we are going to have the cap space to make that kind of signing.  We have to do something about this center position this offseason, and if its a young option we may not even be interested in messing with Turner.

I'm not sure why we should trust in Nico yet?  I'm not convinced he is running the show (I feel like Cuban still has a heavy hand) but even if he is, the only narrative that could give you any confidence in him is that he had little to do with last offseason, but was the driving force in dumping KP afterwards.  I'm going to need to see a lot more before I can comfortably trust in Nico.
