TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[mvossman]

Too many minor issues clogging up this thread. I like Josh Green. But he’s not worth saying no to Miles. Unlocked picks sounds great. If you can use em to trade for a guy like Miles. July vs. June? Come on, man. Get it done whenever you can. If Turner is healthy enough to risk big bucks on, then any non-core pieces it takes should be on the table. 

Guys in the league who can shoot 3s, switch screens, and defend the rim? Maxi, Miles, and Methuselah Horford. First team to employ 2 of em takes the next O’Brien.

I feel like the talk of Turner's three point shooting is a little inflated.  He does not take a lot of 3s and over the last 3 years he has averaged under 34% from three.  Its not an issue of shot quality either as he has averaged less than 34% on wide open threes meaning there is not a good reason to believe that pairing him with Luka will improve that number significantly.

Myles is not the kind of player I am looking to get with unlocked picks.  A two way wing should be the primary target for that.  Turner is a good player, and a very good defensive player, but he is often injured, does not address our rebounding issues, does not have the game to punish teams for going small, and like Gobert some of his defensive impact can be mitigated by 5 out.  He is not the guy I want to burn our future assets for.
