TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

I think Turner is a better player, at least this season. He can do stuff offensively and is an excellent defender. Better to build around Luka, imho. His only weakness is he is often injured. Will likely also cost more (in terms of salary).

All true, and Turner is a worse rebounder.  I thought his numbers would jump more when Sabonis left.  I think I like his fit with Luka better, but the injury thing is a real concern.  The money thing means Cuban prolly doesn't pull the trigger on it regardless, but I think its an interesting thought experiment.  It says a lot about Wood if the comparison is even close.
