TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[cow]

I agree that the market will balance out somewhat as well but I would argue that you almost contradicted yourself right after.  Everyone focuses the Gobert trade but I think GMs all see that as a giant mistake and the market will fall back to stars being moved at the Dejounte Murray/Jrue Holiday price tag which isn't actually as high as what you stated.  Murray was basically just moved for three picks and salary filler (Gallo was quickly bought out) and that's a package we can put together this offseason without adding a DFS or a Green or a Hardy.

Two things.  I think Murray was pretty expensive relatively.  Three picks is a lot.  Not only do you lose the picks, but you also handcuff yourself on future trades.  MBT has also proven to be one of the worst front offices in the league.  If I had to guess, we are going to get squeezed on any move we make.
