TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[Mavs2021]

Well, I hope the Mavs stick to your playbook, because I don't want him here under ANY circumstances and your bottom line would mean nothing happens, I think.

Hell, the Nets can probably get a better deal than what some of you are suggesting by simply agreeing to sign and trade him to whichever stupid team wants him this summer. 

This bargain basement "fleecing" of the Nets at the deadline is not going to happen. You're all setting yourselves up for disappointment.

But there are situational opportunities.

1. Durant doesn´t want to play with Westbrook, so has to be a three-way deal.
2. Durant wants to win now, which puts pressure on Nets. 
3. LeBron wants to win now, which puts pressure on Lakers.
4. LeBron doesn´t care about 2027 1sts or Bertans contractual obligations.
5. Kyrie wants to play in LA and get paid.
 
All this at least makes a deal like....

Westbrook + 1st to Mavs
Kyrie (with extension) + Bertans to Lakers
Dinwiddie + THJ to Nets

a possibility...though obviously there is a chance the Nets can get a better package. I´d even consider adding Wood, though I´d prefer other outcomes with him.

Doncic
Green
Bullock
DFS
Kleber

plus max capspace + plus additional future assets. That´s like a pipedream outcome of this deadline.
