TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[Scott41theMavs]

That's my point. 

I am just tired of hearing that the Mavs have junk and no assets and nothing the league wants to make a trade. That is correct if you mean, "Nobody wants the Mavs bottom five players for their starter." (even though the Mavs just DID that by the way....)

To get good players you generally have to give good players and/or 1st round picks. So if we want the Mavs to trade for an impact starter we need to realize the CW trade will be the exception not the rule and need to be ready to let go of one or more of the current top 7 Mavs.

All that's relevant as a general point. It doesn't change the fact that you were alluding to, not "one of our top seven," but our number two player, for freaking Kyrie Irving, a move as uproariously damaging as losing Brunson for nothing. That's not an example to throw out there if you want people to listen (although I've already been betrayed by Killer here).
