TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[Chicagojk]

So what is better for Nets? 

Westbrook and picks (even if both two) from LAL or two serviceable players like SD and Wood from Mavs (no picks)? Mavs are desperate, but so is BKN, as Durant might ask out any second and then it is all over for them for who knows how long.

If Mavs really like Irving, the most balanced proposal could be SD+Bullock. I think BKN could use Bullock more than Wood. Mavs would still need third ballhandler and another wing to replace Bullock... But they would have their picks left. And if you are all in desperate for Irving, why not waste those picks to bring in two solid players. One for example for Trent

SD plus Bullock sounds like a fair offer.  I was thinking about SD plus Powell, but that appears a little light.   SD plus Wood doesn't feel right.   If Brooklyn hopes to keep KD and be competitive, that could be a solid offer.  

PHX probably wants Durant but does a Paul plus a pick beat that Dallas offer?  Not sure.

Miami needs to be a sleeper.  They are a big game hunter.  I could see them sneaky going after Kyrie.  But they may have more interest in KD though.  a Butler, Bam plus Kyrie is an interesting mix.    Especially with Miami's ability to develop players.  

Minny is desperate and is there any chance Kyrie stays there?

So just with quick thinking without anything to go off, I would list the favorites as

1) Lakers
2) Heat
3) Mavs
4) Suns
5) Minny
