TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[SleepingHero]

They have plenty of way outs. They can trade either KAT or Edwards, both would fetch close to Gobert like haul

I'm skeptical about the return for either of those guys coming close to a Gobert level package. Just to remind myself I looked up what the Wolves traded and it was:

Malik Beasley 
Pat Bev
Leandro Bolmaro
Jarred Vanderbilt 
Walker Kessler (22nd pick)
2023, 2025, 2027, and 2029 FRP + a 2026 pick swap. 

So 6 picks if we're counting Walker Kessler, and 4 role players.

I think KAT and Edwards might be worth half of that on their own, so MAYBE they can retool but in reality just rebuild (again). But Gobert's package was a KD in his prime-esque package. If most trades for 2nd tier all-star guys went for that, the NBA would almost never have trades.
