TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[ItsGoTime]

Disagree on this although I admit the Gobert trade throws everything off. 

My thoughts on Lavine (and certainly Beal) is their will be some hesitancy from many teams due to 5 year huge deal deal he is under. A Dallas offer of Wood, Dinwiddie, Hardy and a 1st is at least as attractive as what LAL could put on the table IMO. Almost every time a trade goes down like this for a superstar it generally only teams he's made it clear he want to go to that are in the running. He wants to be in LA for sure. I think its likely he would welcome Dallas as well. Mia could be a factor. You can eliminate tanking teams, small markets or teams that are in win now mode and don't want to mess up chemistry. List gets pretty small.

As with anything its super unlikely but imo he would close to ideal playing off Luka. At least offensively.

After NYK missed on Mitchell, Lavine would be a prime candidate for a package Chi would want. Only takes 1.
