TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[Nowitzki Way]

But, with Markannen, a DFS level guy (on a great contract, for sure) might be the thing that seals them into that 6-9 range, if that's what they want. I mostly agree with your logic about this, but I'm not ready to swear UTA wouldn't be interested.

For Utah to be interested, they would have to be trying to get in that range you mentioned. But that would mean the outgoing for them would be salary filler and picks to get DFS. 

I dont see them giving up any of their rotation players for DFS if they are going for it. I think that rules out Vanderbilt, Sexton, Clarkson, Beasley. 

Maybe we're looking at Horton-Tucker and 1st rounder for DFS. Could we pry away Agbaji? 

So many options with Utah. Just not sure what Utah is trying to do. Tank and collect assets or go for it. If they are going for it, it feels like DFS is a secondary piece to something else they have cooking.
