TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[dirkfansince1998]

I'm arguing that a THJ is worth more than Robinson + 1x FRP and I'm "hating"?  I'm also one of the people that has been arguing for years that the teams need to take a step back in order to move forward.  Adding on long term bad money isn't the path forward unless you are being overcompensated.  It's why I hated the Bertans/Din trade.  It is also why I disagree with your "fair value" in this purposed swap.  You can argue the fit of THJ versus Robinson but the swap isn't moving the needle for this team's future and you are paying more money yearly and an additional year (more tire spinning) for a FRP.

I was talking about the gamethreads. Reading them one would think that THJ is the worst player in league history. Just strange to see that despite all those posts  we struggle to find a THJ trade that you would support.
In this case I think I am a lot higher on the potential of a mid first round pick than you are. And I really don´t see how the extra year of Robinson would hurt the Mavs (except for Cuban´s wallet). Looking at the salary chart capspace isn´t going to be an option. Probably all the way through Luka´s current contract.

How do you intend to take a step back without taking on salary or trying to add picks? Doesn´t sound like it. Do you want to sell more valuable pieces like DFS or Wood?
