TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[mvossman]

Jalen Smith, OPJ, Harris, GPII.  Still a little dreaming to do until our hopes a dashed.

And two other names that might be interesting: DiVincenzo and TJ Warren.

DiVincenzo

I think he will get more than tax MLE. I wonder where, though

[Chicagojk]

some of the backup centers contracts have surprised me.  I thought some of them would need to work to get the tax MLE.  I was wrong.   

Seeing this, I really wished we could have gotten one of the second round centers in the draft to add to Hardy.

Is it bad the first wave of FA is over, and the Mavs supposed two top targets are still not on the best available position list?

Sleeping Hero is going to be pissed when he gets back from his date.

Seems like they like his fit with Porzingis like we used to. 

I guess they haven't figured out the KP will demand to play at the elbow yet.

Sleeping Hero is going to be pissed when he gets back from his date.

I hope he checks his phone, if the date is not going well. With any luck she´s a sports gal and he can throw a hail mary: I´m a Mavs fan, pity sex?

This is a really strange one

This is a head scratcher to me too. Knox never plays, just rides the pine.

This is a head scratcher to me too.

Interestingly, it's also an extension rather than a FA signing. I wonder if there's some cap maneuvering going on.

Random observation: An extended Gary Harris at $13mm + Isaac at $17mm is an exact trade match for THJ + Powell.

[ItsGoTime]

I will say, Kamm’s prediction of Nico overturning the roster by this offseason is mostly spot on. Got the big cog out of the way at the TDL, got rid of the fully 0 contributors at the draft. Let a good one go so far in FA. If he finds a trade for THJ and/or Powell, that’s pretty much exactly what Nico did.

Need more Kamm tweets.  Need Powell and Bertans gone.  Help.
