TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[Mavs32]

an expansion on the THJ/CL trade
I don't think CL would be an upgrade over THJ and due to his need for the ball and suspect outside shooting, i don't see that the "luka effect" is applicable to him.  so i would try to include Charlotte in the deal

Cavs get THJ
Hornets get CL, Bullock & Bertans
Mavs get Hayward & Rozier

Cavs get more shooting and a slightly better fit with their guards
Hornets clear a ton of money (around 5-6mil this year and almost 30mil next year)
Mavs get better defensively, better playmaking and helps their books.

not sure if Jordan is in for the tank like that but maybe LaMello and CL are a decent fit and Bullock is the type of defender/shooter they need.  idk.

For this year and the sake of continuity

Luka/Rozier/Frank
SD/Green/Hardy
Hayward/(vet buyout guy)/Pinson
DFS/Maxi/(vet buyout guy)
Wood/Powell/Javelle

next year you can move SD back to the bench and start Rozier as i feel they might be the better fit to start considering Roziers defense.  Also, hopefully you can move Hayward to the bench by signing a real PF or promoting Maxi and DFS can start at the 3.

Luka/SD/developmental/young pg
Rozier/Green/Hardy
DFS/Hayward
Maxi or signed player
Wood/Powell (if they keep him and lets be honest, they will)/Javelle
