TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[F Gump]

I don't think LA does this.  I think that Bertans contract is more negative to them than the Russ contract due to the extra year(s).

Its also too cheap for the Mavs.  Not long ago we wanted to remove that protection to give us access to our picks for trading sooner.  I realize the tables may have turned a bit on that, but I don't see that being big value.  Other than that, we are sending out Green to get off Bertans contract.  Nobody would do that straight up, and then we are getting Bojan on top of it.  Too good to be true.

My biggest problem with that deal is that the Mavs don't get Rose. He's a perfect fit for the Mavs. And I'm assuming he would be less expensive for the Mavs than Bogey, which is even better.
