TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[omahen]

Trade idea from Bleacher:

Dallas Mavericks Receive: Pascal Siakam, Robin Lopez, Josh Jackson

Cleveland Cavaliers Receive: Tim Hardaway Jr., Juancho Hernangómez

Toronto Raptors Receive: Kevin Love, Christian Wood, Josh Green, 2023 second-round pick (CLE), 2025 first-round pick (DAL), 2027 first-round pick (DAL)


I don't think Cleveland even contemplaits moving Love, but I guess you could also make it work with LeVert. A price for Mavs is very steep, so I guess it could be realistic. Mavs would probably lose too much depth to contend this season, but a smart move or two in the summer could get them there. Mavs would have a huge hole on wings, so I would definitely prefer adding 2029 instead of Green. The big question - do you play Siakam as small ball five or continue using Powell as starting center?

SD, Hardy
Bullock, Jackson
DFS, Maxi
Siakam, Powell

Or alternatively

Luka, FN
Bullock, SD
