TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[Chicagojk]

It's obvious that DFS is a highly desirable player for basically ANY team trying to win. I've given up trying to convince people around here of that, but it's pretty obvious. So yes, trading him would be a big deal.

BUT, in the RIGHT deal, I'd have no problem with it. He's not some untouchable asset. I doubt the Mavs can get Siakim, for example, but if they could and DFS was part of the price I wouldn't hesitate.

I agree, he shouldn't be untouchable.  It wasn't my intention on my quick response.

I am just worried, the Mavs only strategy is finding that star.    That is fine, but on the other hand it probably led them to lose Jalen.    DFS is signed, so they won't lose him the same way.  I just hope they understand the importance of tough, smart, winning players.   When looking for another all star, I hope they realize you will need several of the DFS types to win a championship.
