TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[Scott41theMavs]

The biggest question is what Kidd will do with Wood.  Is he going back to the starting lineup?  Starting Powell in the playoffs last year did not work, and I'm skeptical it will be any better this playoffs.

Kyrie seems like a very good locker room guy whom other players love. He might be able to sit Wood down and work out his mentality as far as team contribution and winning basketball. "Weed is for the offseason" should be his first lesson. But Kyrie might be able to work this all out to our benefit.

I'll bet Luka is weighing his elation at having his best teammate ever vs. ire that the Mavs couldn't bring in any of his three Yugo buddies (Zubac and the two Bogdanovices).

Everyone seems to be forgetting the major silver lining in the midst of all the disappointment - whether Kyrie stays or goes, after the draft, we will have major trade fodder for the third (or second) star because they didn't spend any now.
