TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[cow]

Sending Kyrie home while being paid is what he wants.  He has no interest in playing basketball full time.

And he or Ben Simmons would wreck chemistry on the court because his teammates will never know if they are available to play.

Russell Westbrook would just ruin chemistry while being on the court.

I get the concerns but Kyrie is really good at basketball.  I don't see at as anymore than a one year rental and maybe you could get something back in a trade (TDL) or S&T (offseason).  You are gambling on him being on his best behavior but it is a gamble.  If you could get Kyrie back while sending out Bertans, sign me up...twice.  I don't think there is a trade there though.

Simmons, I just don't think we have the assets for.

Westbrook, I don't see either side sending out or accepting what would satisfy both teams desires.
