TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[JamesConway912]

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

Also when healthy LeVert can run a PnR somewhat efficiently. He’d be a solid fit alongside Hardy as the two bench guards. Allows Hardy to finish plays more than create them. 

I REALLY hope we’ll come out of the trade deadline with clearly defined roles for Green as the starting SF and Hardy as a regular rotation guy.
