TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[ItsGoTime]

I don't know why we do this to ourselves. 

You guys really expect a team so worried about the LT they won't re-sign Brunson, their own homegrown player, to bring in a guy who makes $40 million for the next two years? 

I think there is a 0% chance that happens, personally. I know you guys hate Bertans' contract, but I think the Mavs believe it represents an improvement from the Porzingis contract, and you'd have them jump right back into a similar situation. I admit that Harris would fit better than Porzingis did, and trust me - I see what you guys are thinking with the trade. I just don't think it would happen.

So this post changes the trade discussion from “would you do it” to “will it happen”. 

Trade proposals by fans can’t have much expectation of their trade actually happening. Especially not the exact proposal. The point at first is to discuss how much peers would actually do the deal which leads to balancing out the deal to make sure it is even. In the end, maybe we talk about whether or not the team would do it. 

You personally may not like talking out that process, but there are fans that do and skipping to the end like this doesn’t help working through it all.

I hope that doesn’t come across as harsh as I’m not trying to be.
