TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[cow]

I think this "lack of Brunson" issue has had an impact on player performance up and down the roster this season.

That's the point in the statement.  Dinwiddie's shot profile needed to change and they had to integrate Wood's offense too.  All the fringe player opportunities are going to get a trickle down effect because of this.

To make it a pure money swap

The reports say that Atlanta has lowered their asking price (and how trustworthy that is up to debate as I doubt people reporting know what they wanted then, what they want now and how much that has changed) but I'm comfortable in saying they aren't going to dump him for salary savings and further he has some value.
