TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[DanSchwartzgan]

why powell and plumlee would be included in this trade suggestion...?

The deal does NOT work w/o them. Without Powell, you can't match the Hayward salary. THJ + Green isn't enough.

So Powell MUST be included. Or another someone. Once you add Powell, you can take back BOTH GH and PJW. . Plumlee then makes sense on both sides to be moved from CHA to DAL using the TPE.

What if you took advantage of the Wood trade remaining open?  If you add in THJ/Green for Hayward/Pick to the existing framework the total outgoing is $34.8mm which matches the $43.5mm for Wood and Haywood combined.  The Dallas TPE could be used to absorb additional salary if need be.
