TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

I guess I'm wary of a guard who put up mid stats on bad teams and further had his role diminished as the team started to win more games.

I agree White's upside on paper is what the Mavs desperately need, but they also desperately need Powell as crazy as it is to say. Powell's energy has kept them in the majority of their games this year, and without him this team is probably sub .500. I was a big proponent for a guy like McGee but it has been disastrous. Trading Powell means we'd be relying on McGee more than I'm comfortable with. 

Now, should CHI throw in a guy like Drummond, who isn't known for his hustle but at least can give a different look than McGee I'm back in.

I think they have to take some (controlled) risks. But agree that if Powell is outgoing they have to make another move for a third big because McGee is unplayable
