TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[DanSchwartzgan]

The “This League” pod with Stein and Haynes went through names today:

Reddish:  Stein says ‘he has to be traded’.  He has 27 straight DNP-CD’s.  He thinks one second and an expiring contract gets this done.  Haynes says two teams…Cleveland and Dallas are in on this.  Stein says ‘the Mav’s have tried’, but they don’t have the small-ish contract necessary.  FO in NY isn’t all that interested in Reggie (coach maybe, but not Front Office).  

I mentioned this yesterday, but one way to make salaries match for Reddish is to do him as a secondary deal after acquiring a TPE in another deal.  The mention came in a Wood to Indy deal.  Reggie would work also.  His contract is a fit in SA and Indy’s space.  OKC has TPE big enough to absorb Reggie as well.

An example of how this could work is Reggie for Duarte which would create enough room for Reddish to fit in the TPE such a deal would create.  There are other mix and match possibilities, but that is a pretty good example of a fairly simple deal.  Reggie for Duarte then use the TPE and a pick to grab Reddish.
