TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[ItsGoTime]

FWIW, I”m not a fan of adding FVV or D’Lo nor am I a fan of swapping out Dinwiddie for one of them (I’ll take the devil I know).  Both want big time long term money.  I’d rather deal with SD at the end of 2024 than sign up for four years with either of those guys.

What I’d prefer is my third ball handler be younger and a better defender while also competent at O.  I think Quickley fits that really well.  If you can’t make it work out with SD once his contract is up, you have a ready-made replacement.  In the mean time, you can play any two of Luka, SD and Quickley at the same time.  Maybe Hardy is ready to be that third guy by the time SD’s deal is up.

The question is how do we get Quickley. My personal opinion is you have to go wide like the trade I proposed in order to get the value right without giving up picks. If we’re in the pick trading market, then Reggie and the 28 for Reddish and Quickley works while losing a ton off Cuban’s tax bill.
