TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[F Gump]

Ok, I respect your opinion.

But I think you're going to hate LaVert if this happens.

Lavert might not be the right answer.

But I think Hardaway-Lavert might be the right type of swap equation -- ie, to find a player who some other team is willing to move for a shooter, who might be able to slide into that massive ball-handling creator hole created by the loss of JB.

DanS had mentioned Rozier, who also seems to be of that ilk.

Lavert and Rozier have opposite contractual ramifications. But each, in some way, would be an attempt to turn THJ into a talent that might be closer to JB, and can do things to "replace" JB that THJ cannot come close to. The point being, somewhere in the bin containing those types may be where a useful deal may be found.
