TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[ItsGoTime]

I see now, you’re not talking about using the Bos pick in the trade. That makes more sense now. I think that still only results in a total of 3 picks to trade at the TDL, regardless of which ones those specifically are though. 


I’m thinking that using those 3 picks at the TDL also handicaps us by only being able to use 1 pick at the draft. That’s a total of 4 picks to use as opposed to being able to use 5 picks if we wait. We would also have access to lots of seconds because conveying the 23 also opens up the 25 since that’s tied into the 23 protections too. That’s 5 firsts and 6 seconds (2 from the trade). That is a lot of assets to offer a tear-it-down team edit:(I’m looking at you Portland) or disgruntled players (keeping my eye on the OGA/SGA/Jonathan Isaac situations).

This is also the case with where we are at now without the trade being talked about. Currently we can use 2 firsts and 2 seconds in trade and then 1 first and 2 seconds after the draft, giving us a total of 3 firsts and 4 seconds to use. Waiting til after next draft we can use 4 firsts and 4 seconds. So patience IS a virtue!
