TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[ItsGoTime]

I would do this deal in a heartbeat. No idea if Minnesota would. 

Alternatively, I'd happily replace THJ with Dinwiddie. Either way. I'd switch McGee out for Bullock, if they preferred. Whatever. 

It also works with Hardy added. High as I am on Hardy, I might even do that if I had to. I would try like Hell to avoid it, but to me this would be worth either Hardy or a late first, not both, and not Green. 

Unfortunately, I don't think the Mavs are in position to include Powell at this time (or Wood, for that matter, thought I wouldn't want to anyway) without making the deal bigger, so the whole "expiring" portion of the potential benefit just isn't there.

Hehe, when looking at the trade machine, ESPN predicts both teams lose in your proposal. 


Do you really think Russell is worth that much more than either THJ or SD (pointing to your line about adding Hardy to the trade)? You are a lot higher on him than I am in that case, or I am higher on SD and THJ, either way. He's also expiring, which devalues him at least a bit.

As far as Min is concerned, they would have to get SD back at the very least don't they? Losing DR gives them no starting level PG, unless you think Ant should be that. This is a big reason why my trade is expanded to include both.
