TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[cow]

Bojan doesn't raise our ceiling so trading away a future first would be foolish.  We already have a team full of offensive specialists that aren't wonderful on defense which makes them hard to pair with Luka in the first place.  He's 33 and has a two year extension at 20M and 19M the final year.   Two years after he expires, you'll owe Detroit your pick and his best days will be behind him.  The only thing I'd consider is a swap for him and THJ and maybe tip a second rounder in the process but if Detroit thinks they can get a FRP for him, they aren't going to do that.

Lavert is only interesting if Cleveland sees value in THJ and is willing to tip for the swap.  I'd also want a good tip.  The problem is they don't have a ton of draft capital.  Levert is expiring and has played over 70 games once in his career and every other year under 60.  He really feels snake bitten and I'm not sure how investible he is long term.
