TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[ItsGoTime]

Well, it would take the team from 0 true PG's to 1. Or, 2, if you consider Luka a PG, which is certainly something that flies. 

I think adding Quickley to the bench would be a positive move, depending on what they'd have to give up, but I have no idea why people think NY wants to trade him. Even if they have decided he's not in their future (which we don't know) it seems like they'd want to throw him as a fairly attractive sweetener in a package with Toppin and some 1sts for the next star they go after. 

The reason we're talking about FVV and Russell is that both players are very likely to be moved at the deadline.

This is also why I go wide and include Dinwiddie in my NYK trade. He already has proven to work well alongside JB, a 3 man playoff rotation of JB/Barrett/SD (with Grimes getting 9th man playoff minutes) is pretty perfect for them. Add in DFS and Bullock where DFS starts at the 3 and is the 4 behind Randle and that is the defense that I’m sure Thibs would love to work with. Powell is another bench big that spells Mitchell (but not too much cause Randle is a really good option for playoff C). JB/Barrett/Bullock/DFS/Randle could do some damage IMO.
