TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[mvossman]

Moving DFS to SF would allow us to get another rebounder/paint protector to help us not get outrebounded and abused in the paint every game.

If we want to keep the two defender strategy, Dinwiddie would them be moved to the bench (not sure if he'd take it well) and Green could be promoted.

Shor-term, i'd like to keep:

Doncic/Dinwiddie
Green/Hardaway
Finney-Smith
Kleber/TARGET
Wood/Powell

That leaves Bullock/McGee to match salary. I do not want to spend future picks or Hardy on this TDL. So very limited options to "upgrade".

Covington (LAC) would be a welcome addition. He's not playing there and could be a stopgap starting PF to help Wood clean the class and protect the paint (we're getting abused every game on those aspects). He wstill is a plus defender and can hit the ocasional three.

If we keep DFS at PF, looking at the sucess last season, then the TARGET would be someone to handle the rock/take the pressure away from our ball-handlers.

Doncic/TARGET
Dinwiddie/Hardaway
Green
Finney-Smith/Kleber
Wood/Powell

Conley (UTA) would be my ideal target (Bertans/Bullock for Conley/Gay).

I would be up for a Bullock for Covington trade.  

Nobody is taking on that Bertans contract, especially for a productive player like Conley.
