TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[KillerLeft]

As Mvossman said, we need to save assets for the “big swing.” We may only get one chance at it.

I hate to even suggest it, but I think they've already had their one chance at this and chose Porzingis wrongly. Luka is now on his rookie max extension, and there's simply no path to quickly accumulate the type of young potential stars that would interest the rare team who's willing to unload a current star. Plus, by the time the team has enough picks to offer (5 for Mitchell!!!) it will be too late, I think. 

I think the path from here is so uphill it's ridiculous. They really needed to get that 2nd guy before Luka's second contract. When they didn't, it got a lot harder. Losing Brunson for nothing made it more so. 

It's about as depressing as a situation that involves Luka Doncic can be. I almost wish they'd trade him to a better team so we could see how great he can actually become. Almost.
