TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[Jason Terry]

Unfortunately, this is the most likely scenario.  If you add all three guys to Lakers they suddenly become very dangerous for a season.  Ainge is going to want both firsts which could be crazy valuable after the Lakers break apart.

I just can’t see LA giving up both picks. It would cripple them if Lebron leaves(which he has publicly said he will do). Also, the Jazz players and no other available players make them a contender anyways

The smart move would be to hold onto Westbrook and keep the assets. Sign Kyrie with the space and give up on the year before it starts

Or find some way to make a mega deal where LA takes on all the worthless expiring contracts and only gives up 2nds
