TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[mvossman]

Really curious what a Vanderbilt deal would look like. Hardaway/Wood/2027 for Vanderbilt/bad contracts? All of their “bad” contracts are shorter than Hardaway so I can’t figure out how we could angle ourselves here.

Vanderbilt and his skill set are exactly what we need now that god king is gone.

His defense is a perfect fit, but he brings a different offensive skillset.  He does not really space the floor at all.  I think you are overvaluing him from an asset perspective.  He plays 24 minutes a game and has never scored more than 10 points a game.  There are rumors he is not considered a core piece in Utah.  Does not make sense to send out Wood as the point of Vandy is to pair with Wood.  Our 2027 will have to be unprotected.  That will be a very valuable pick.  Timmy + that pick might actually be worth Vandy and the expiring Clarkson.
