TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[mvossman]

If that's true, then I see no reason a 2nd wouldn't be good enough to get a Powell for Favors deal done. 

But, tbh, I'm not sure Favors really does more than Powell would here.

Absolutely.  If he was going to be an upgrade over Powell, then that would make total sense and probably doable.  He used to be a good player and makes more sense than Powell in the bruiser backup center role.  I also wonder how much his play last season was due to being on a tanking team versus him falling off a cliff.
