TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[mvossman]

I don’t think he would start.  The only paths to his salary level are through THJ or Bertans.  I see him taking the projected THJ role here with THJ as part of the outgoing.  BB is a better creator than Hardaway.  But, I don’t see Dallas giving up a pick for a straight THJ/Bojan swap.

So, what if you add things?  I’d definitely give a pick if Vanderbilt were in the deal.  I also wonder what Kidd thinks of THT.  Two separate deals…Powell for THT and THJ for Bogdanovic?  I wonder what would that cost in terms of draft equity.  Bojan probably wants an extension from any team he’s traded to.

If we are going to send Timmy to Utah for salary matching, I would rather have Conley.  He should not cost additional assets, is a better fit (playmaking and defense) for year one and in year two he could be a useful good sized expiring contract for a trade.
