TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[Nowitzki Way]

My 2 cents on the Kyrie trade and what we do next.

I wanted Kyrie. We all know Kyrie on the court with Luka will be amazing. Its the off court drama that none of us like/want. Thats the only reason he was available. And the only reason it didnt take 3 first rounders plus what we gave up.

He is such an upgrade to Dinwiddie that yes, it was worth DFS to get him. Dorian is so well liked for many reasons.  But lets not overrate him. He's almost 30 and on a long term contract. Averages 8 or 9 points a game. His defense is solid, but a little overrated as well. His hustle and intangibles is what we'll miss. 

I'm skipping the doom and gloom and hoping like hell this works. Irving's track record says that it wont probably wont. But i'm here for the ride.

Next move? It looks like Wood is on his way out and i dont understand this one. I'd extend him immediately. But with him out of the equation we need alot. We may not need that 3rd ball handler now, but we need size, perimeter D, and rebounding. 

Just wanted to throw my thoughts out there and ride this wild MFFL ride.
