TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[SamStetz]

Playing around with different rumors and the trade machine, if Dallas wants to move McGee for another center my ideal target would be Noel. A straight up McGee-Noel swap doesn’t work. However, turning two rumored deals into 3-team trades would allow the McGee-Noel swap to happen. 

DAL: Reddish/Quickley/Noel
DET: McGee/second round compensation 
NYK: Bullock

OR

DAL: LeVert/Noel
CLE: THJ
DET: McGee/second round compensation 

Same concept applies for Holmes (who likely won’t cost any second round picks because Stein reports he's a buyout candidate). Remove Quickley and if Dallas gets their 2023 pick back, would they go after Bog, or a different target?

Another idea worth exploring, see how interested the Bucks are in Timmy. He makes the exact same as Eric Gordon, so the same package being offered to Houston could work for Dallas. 

My guess is Allen/Hill/Nwora/Ibaka/4 seconds. You could let Milwaukee send us less seconds if needed, and send them Timmy/Frank. Pinson could be waived, or you could send Ibaka to a third team. Best part is that the above idea can still be integrated to swap McGee for Noel as long as it’s part of the same transaction. 

DAL: Allen/Hill/Nwora/Ibaka/Noel/2 or 3 seconds (waive Pinson or send Ibaka to 4th team)
MIL: THJ/Frank
DET: McGee and second rounder
