TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[Scott41theMavs]

I think you got the wrong team trading for Siakam.  We don't have the assets now.

It was a radio rumor. Supposedly on The Fan this morning. I put little stock in it, but was surprised it wasn't being mentioned here.

In any event, presuming the Mavs have no interest in un-tradeable Wood after the draft (i.e. the cheap 2-year extension or nothing, and he isn't taking that), I have no interest in dealing with the Clippers unless Zubac is coming back (even if it was with Norman Powell), and that seems unlikely, so unless he is combined with other players in a trade, I would rather they just kept him for this run and maybe look at re-signing him (or signing and trading him) in July.

Whether or not Wood is gone, it still seems that this team needs not one but two more deals. Too many things to resolve. I will be pretty grumpy if a second deal isn't announced today or Tuesday, leaving time for the third deal Thursday.

Not sure I agree that there's evidence to support this.

I'm with you. Got to hope in something right now.
