TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

4) Bamba non-guaranteed could be an ideal trade chip for an offseason move before draft(i think the timing works for this) 

That’s an interesting aspect of this.  Might do Harris over Ross and accomplish the same thing.  You’d have to guarantee the money in order to count it in a trade.

I’d want to know what the rules are around extensions in the new CBA before considering this.  I think THJ has more value than this and would want something I could hang onto other than salaries that expire sooner. If they don’t fix the extension rules by the TDL (supposedly an announcement is coming just before the TDL), then I might consider something like this.  I do like this better than straight up LeVert because of the optionality of the Bamba and Harris contracts.  But, I don’t think anyone is going to give Bamba $10mm this summer if he makes it to FA.
