TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[Jason Terry]

Hadn't thought of this.. appreciate you bringing it up. Might be the one team that doesn't view him as a complete negative. I personally would rather keep Bertans and trade THJ. Bertans as a shooter off the bench is the role we need. THJ the shooter that can't shoot, starting, is getting old..

As bad as THJ has been, I’m thinking he could stay if his value is as low as it seems to be. We will need shooters around Luka/Kyrie and i don’t think we can afford to trade both THJ and Bertans. 

THJ is good for this team in many ways. Good teammate and hard worker, so the intangibles are there. Post-Kyrie we need to view things from a rest of season perspective since we’re going for it with the west being wide open. With our limited assets i think THJ is a gamble we should make. He’s primed to get hot down the stretch of this season and if he does, 1) he helps winning and 2) actually has real value this summer in trade

The biggest problem with keeping Hardaway is minutes. I’m under the belief that we’re starting him and we’ve been playing him so much for the sole reason of trade value. Post-TDL this won’t matter as much and he can be moved to the bench where he belongs. He can play if his shot is on. He should post some 10 min outings if it’s not. He must color in the lines……no more “driving” or ill-advised 3’s

Green is clearly better than Hardaway in every way and should start. My biggest fear is Green becoming so valuable his next contract is massive. That’s a good problem to have though

already being over the cap this year and next is there any way that NO would trade Graham and Hayes to Dallas for THJ?  they take on more money for next year but Graham and THJ are pretty similar and they keep the salary slot instead of losing Hayes for nothing.  I can't imagine they will pay him this summer with the contracts we already have.

could you loop in Cleveland and send THJ to the Cavs and Levert to NO? that would save NO all of Graham's contract.

maybe NO sends one of their seconds or very low firsts to the Cavs to make it worth their while?

I like NO as a trade parter. Hayes and Hernangomez should be low cost
