TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[mvossman]

FWIW, this is where I am also.  I’d unprotect the pick.  Yeah, Wood isn’t a Thibs guy, but neither is Reddish.  They really need some perimeter scoring, So, Wood at least fits as a bench piece there.  

I think we need Rose more than we need Bullock and Rose is blocking some of NY’s younger players from getting PT.  The prize to me is Hartenstein.  He plays D, can pass from the short roll or hit a little push shot and I think he will be useful from the corner (and maybe good some day).  I thought he made tons more sense than McGee and fits as the Powell-upgrade that McGee was sold as.

To me, Cam is a lottery ticket in much the same way Wood is.  Who knows what you have there.  It isn’t critical to our success (thank you Green) that Reddish pans out.  But he goes to the basket a lot, which is something Kidd likes.  So, if you can get the rest of his game to come around….   I also like that you’d have IH, Luka, Reddish, Green and Hardy on the 25 and under team after such a deal.

I like IH, but Rose is potentially in the process of falling off a cliff, and I don't have a lot of hope in the Reddish lottery ticket.  As Wood packages go, I would prefer Vuc to this and Collins way more than either of them.
