TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[KillerLeft]

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.

Sure, I guess. The contract kills it for me, personally, but I see where you're coming from and I'm one of the only people who'd feel like the Mavs were actually giving something up in Hardaway. 

But, I'm sorry, I just don't even think it's worth thinking that way from our perspective because I don't believe the Mavs are thinking that way. Maybe they might try to snag a first if they want to send it right out the door in a bigger deal, but they have just never, ever shown a desire to collect draft capital.

Bertans is getting some off screen plays called for him when he is on the floor.

This is true, I admit. I wish they'd just do it more for Hardaway.
