TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[Scott41theMavs]

DFS/Bertans/THJ/Frank/McGee is almost an exact salary match for Conley/Vandy/Olynyk/Beasley. Ainge wants DFS? There’s his price. If he whines about it, require a first as well!

DFS/Bertans/THJ/Frank/McGee for Vandy/Olynyk/Beasley/Clarkson also works. Do that if you want to push him over a barrel. Conley doesn't impress me at this point.

How sure are we that Markannen can’t be had? Are we convinced Ainge won’t try to get a little worse at the deadline?

Oof. Any DFS for Markannen deal likely includes Green and 2 1sts going back to them. Yes, Lauri has broken out this year. No, I'm not sure he's the guy you spend your assets on. Rather have Siakam, who, by the way, is probably the only realistic trade target in the league for whom I would include Green in a trade for.
