TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[Razzmatazz_Hopskidillydoo]

I'd take him for free or whatever you'd consider the few second round picks we have available and salary matches, but I wouldn't give up any of Din, Wood, DFS or Maxi for him and certainly not a first rounder.

I honestly won't be surprised if Wood is shipped out.
Kidd probably doesn't want him on the Mavs anyway and with the way things are turning up, Wood most likely wouldn't re-sign either.
If Wood is involved, I hope the Mavs run away with unloading Tim and McGee with him. That's enough baggage for Charlotte to deal with. The upside though is they may be able to re-sign Wood if things go right. A pairing with LaMelo would be like a Luka-Wood pair. The potential is there.

Kidd would probably be content with Miles Plumlee included which is pretty sad in terms of return value. But if they can sneak Jalen McDaniels instead, I'd be okay with the trade, not jumping for joy about it, but McDaniels is still young at just 24, there's still room for growth in his game.

Note: I don't expect the Mavs to get Washington even with Wood included for a trade that involves either McGee or THJ.

But I think this works:
Wood+Bullock+Green+Hardy+seconds for Hayward+Washington
But the Mavs better re-sign Washington for what he wants.
