TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[Mapka]

I don't think Ainge will go for a deal like that where he's buried in bad salary (or bad salary choices). He needs kids (to start the build for the next generation) not salary. Where's the expiring salary filler?

Fournier would be 2 seasons of ugly salary no one wants, an over-30 veteran highly-paid role player on a rebuilding team. Barrett will have to be very overpaid starting very soon (2023) with no good way to avoid it.

So if a deal happens, imo it's more likely to look like:
Picks (at least as many as Gobert fetched, and maybe one extra just because)
Rose (expiring)
Quickley, Grimes, and one of (Toppin/Barrett)

And that´s why everybody should apply to Rule No. 1
