TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[ItsGoTime]

Luka already banged up. DFS + Kleber locked in. Cap rising to 134. Lack of a young star and assets.

Westbrook for Dinwiddie + THJ + Bertans + 1st round pick is still our best option to a quick 12 months tank + real contender rebuild.

1. You get a top 10 pick in the best draft in ages.
2. You get rid of all the dead wood from the previous administration in 12 months (Powell, Dinwiddie, Bertans, THJ).
3. You get 54M in capspace to shape the team to your liking in the free agent market.
4. You gain an additional 1st round pick to use in a trade.
5. You can develop your own pick Hardy.

That´s honestly what a NEW GM would/should do to quickly mold a team to his own liking and take full ownership of failure and success. Or go and hide behind the crap of the previous administration by carrying their poopbucket around.

First, you lost me at “lack of a young star”.


Other than that, you don’t include Dinwiddie in the trade with the Lakers cause you can trade or combine he and Bullock for more expirings and picks. Powell goes with THJ and Bertans. If we’re going this route, that’s how we do it.
