TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

Lets keep Wood...unless we get a clear upgrade moving forward.

Lets see how Luka, Kyrie, Wood fit.   Can you get enough defense on the floor with them or will it not work?   You have Green, Bullock & hopefully Maxi to do the dirty work.    Powell can play backup 5 minutes.   

That lineup feels two good defenders/veterans short.  Hardaway is the one who sticks out.    If he cannot be moved, maybe he gets put in a 8th man role??

A 6 of Luka, Kyrie, Wood, Green, Maxi and Bullock would be interesting switching out at the end of games.  Is there anything to build there if you could upgrade one or two of those spots this summer?

Wood and Luka do a lot of the defending as well. Wood protects the paint, Luka's on ball defense is awesome at times, and his ability to get hands on the ball and steal is terrific. If we score efficiently, it puts a lot pressure on opponents to score every time, and this is where big mistakes are made. The key is to put players in the lineup that enable the offense to flow well, and putting players that also can contribute defensively, this can be in multitude of different ways.

I think that Bertans, THJ, Bullock are likely all available for trades. Or at least they should be. This is our trade package to get that 4th championship level starter.
