TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

This points to one of three things IMO:

1) The Mavs have plans for a minutes distribution from guys currently on the roster that doesn't leave 20 mins for another backup PG.

2) The Mavs have plans for a trade that would squeeze the minutes of someone like Dragic.

3) The Mavs have plans to to sign someone else as a FA that would squeeze the minutes of someone like Dragic. 


I personally think all the signs heavily point toward #2 and that the Mavs are planning some sort of trade that is waiting on the whole KD fiasco. 

I also personally think the Mavs angling for Ben Simmons makes the most sense of all the tea leaves FWIW. 

Otherwise it seems like the Mavs have a plan for JG/FN/JH to be getting some very intentional backup PG minutes.

If we trade for Simmons, we'll just make him the 3rd string center to give us more depth...lol. Just kidding. Couldn't resist.

Make him earn his starting spot by showing he can shoot first.
