TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

(realized it the second I saw that tweet, obviously, despite you and Dan assuming I'm stupid

Lets tone down the temp a bit here. Wasn't assuming anything. Just figured you overlooked a small fact and tried to point it out in earnest. Not trying to paint you as anything. You're anything but stupid! Your post came off in such a way that you either overlooked the contract or weren't aware of the rule. 

We now both know you are aware of the rule and you just don't like it. Ok no biggie. 

Not worth it, imo. What if you need to add a tiny salary to some bigger deal? What if you need a roster spot and end up having to cut him and eat the money, rather than just ship him out? 

If we need to add a tiny salary to some bigger deal, the Mavs conveniently have Frank on basically the exact same contract that they can throw in at any time. Frank's also an 11th guy. He's no one we should lose sleep over. 

Also just because Theo is on this deal doesn't preclude him from being able to be cut. He can be waived at any point this season, the Mavs just take his salary hit as dead money against the cap. His salary is so small that it shouldn't be a huge issue should they REALLY need the roster spot. Since he has a 1 year deal that dead money is gone come July.
