TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[Ghost of Podkolzin]

Would you rather do the following for a hypothetical OG trade:

Bertans/Green/Hardy/28

Or

Bertans/Hardy/27/29

?

Excellent question.  I'd rather keep Green than the FRP.

Green. Giving the 27 and 29 only allows 1 pick to be traded in the offseason. After this season is over, I’m calling Miami about Bam with my 3 FRPs and pick swaps and letting them get off that Robinson (maybe even Lowry too) contract. This is after their 1st round loss in the playoffs.

But, if the pick is needed for a bigger plan like Bam, you trade green with the one FRP.
