TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[dirkfansince1998]

Let's say you're right, and he can rebound from this funk. 

Does this current Mavs offense look like it's set up to feature a "run around off-ball screens, quick release, Redick style shooter" to you? If so, I'd think they'd be doing those things already for Hardaway. 

So, if they're not going to do that, and he can't handle or play defense, we're talking about someone people here would hate way more than Hardaway, given time. My opinion.

I think Robinson might be almost as useful here as Bertans. If they do it, I hope I'm wrong.

I think they aren´t doing it for THJ because he simply isn´t a great off balance shooter. Bertans is getting some off screen plays called for him when he is on the floor.
I don´t think the team would miss a beat if you exchange both.

But that´s obviously not what the trade would be all about. It´s not a win now move to improve the team this season. All about setting up the team for the future. It seems like most media guys and board members expect the Mavs to make a big trade. And I would really like to add some cheap and young talent before they throw away the chance to do that for at least the next 5-6 years.

Even with Robinson instead of THJ on the payroll the age and salary structure of the team would look a lot better with another first round pick on the team.
