TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[Smitty]

They still have a first they can send out.  Looks like Wood won't bring much back and they are already short on bigs.  I think the play is Timmy plus the first for one more piece.

I think THJ for Lavert makes a lot of sense. Cavs have reportedly shown a lot of interest in THJ.

Mavs fill two needs in replacing THJ (who can only start for some reason) with Lavert (off the bench)

AND

The Mavs get off of THJ's money next year. They let Lavert expire and go elsewhere while having Hardy (ready or not) be the cheap Lavert replacement.


You then keep Wood or add the '27 FRP with him to get back two defensive minded players (a big and a wing preferably)

Wood + Frank + '27 FRP for Batum + Mann from the Clippers
