TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[F Gump]

Hope will be filled.  I'm still throwing out proposals.  Something I find interesting is holding open the 15th spot.  We typically think in terms of a two for one outgoing (expiring Powell and asset Green for Beverley for instance).  But holding that spot seems to indicate the opposite might be true (one Dallas player outgoing for two incoming).  

I think the other thing that has to be considered is the when.  Now or at the TDL?

A different angle for the 15th spot is "no one outgoing, no one incoming" and the Mavs just use it to cycle through prospects. Ever since Nico said they "might" just leave it open for flexibility, I've felt that could be a sign that they have nothing cooking, are stopping at 14, and want to give the illusion of "something more is possible."
