TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

I do not think DFS will be worth more than he is now, so if that is truly his max value right now, then so be it. Better than holding on to this no-man's-land and letting him degrade as a player.

This is the kind of argument you make for a rebuilding team.  This team needs to be sniffing contention in the next two seasons to keep Luka here, and that might start as soon as this coming offseason if they pull the trigger with the assets they will have access to.  He is a home grown player with a good locker room presence (including friends with Luka) and he is under 30 years old.  That does not seem like a player that you have to sell off for whatever you can now.  If we get a really good offer then maybe it makes sense to pull the trigger, but I don't see the hurry.
