TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[Jason Terry]

Well I will be disappointed if there was not a move lined up prior to camp, which is what appears to be the case.   I think I would be more disappointed in a win now type of trade that doesn't really improve our chances though where we gave up a future pick.

So, I guess I am back to seeing if the Mavs can manufacture a move during the season without giving up valuable assets for a good fitting role player.    Moves the Clippers have made in the past are examples.   Gambling on a Reggie Jackson player, etc.   Maybe it is Powell + something for a player who has two years left on his deal.    Something like that.

I’ve been looking at the expiring contracts around the size of Powell. Alec Burks makes the most sense. Maybe for a 2nd. Detroit is also a team i could see valuing Hardaway

DET: THJ

DAL: Conley and Burks

UTA: Powell, Green, Diallo
