TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[mvossman]

I’m thinking along the same lines.  I had written a longer post that came to the same conclusion about Green and Timmy and decided to cut it back and focus on the bigs.  

Kidd talked about a flexible starting lineup the other day.  Maybe Maxi starts with Powell on some occasions and Luka is the second biggest player on other occasions.  The swing players being Josh and Maxi.

Thanks for adding the context of the lineup data.

That's funny because I was building a much bigger post for the other thread as well, but when I read your post I decided to mostly just respond to that.

I did find one interesting thing regarding the potential starting lineup.  Bullock has had a rough go most of the season and Green has been a net rating king, so I figured any potential starting lineup rating was going to suffer including Bullock and excluding Green, but the combination of:

Powell/Luka/Bullock/Timmy

is over +21.  Gota think adding Kyrie to that group is not going to hurt.  Thats a fairly small sample but:

Powell/Luka/Timmy is +11 on over 400 minutes

Powell/Luka/Bullock is +13 on over 300 minutes
