TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[ItsGoTime]

I don't disagree with this notion at all and think that age gets overblown on this board when talking about present day rosters but Siakam's next extension STARTS at the age of 30 and may end up looking very awful by the end of it.  I would say that going the OG route has many more escape routes if things didn't work out.

Ah gotcha, we simply disagree on OG then which is totally fair.  I feel like he will absolutely be an all star in the near future.  Could be wrong but that seems to be where we diverge.

I'm there with you on OG. One of the other things to point out is OG won't cost as much as Siakam in trade, so it wouldn't fully be an all-in trade, we would have a draft pick or 2 left over afterwards. Siakam on the other hand would be a 4 first and at least one of Green or Hardy, if not both. OG would probably require one of the two, probably not both.

Going the OG route allows some of our older players (Thinking SD and/or DFS) to be used in trade as well since it would be a win now move for them as opposed to if they're trading Siakam, they might as well blow it up and our older guys are worth nothing to them.
