I would rather keep the 1st, and the better player.
Herro will of course be better than Spencer in a few years, he's much younger and has a bright future. But by then, Cam Thomas might be that dude. It makes little sense to me to worsen our present roster AND block our potential in the future. If we didn't already have a quality lead guard prospect, or if the guard were trading for were unquestionably better than Dinwiddie right now, then I would feel differently.
portland can get all expirings. something like this i think makes sense for all parties involved. the philly pin gets spun as a good pick but it's most likely a bottom half pick and if philly is really bad then it probably never conveys.
Royce + DFS + 1 FRP(Philly t8 protected) = Herro, is a massive L trade for the Nets...
The only Herro trade that makes sense from a Nets perspective is Din + Lottery protected 1st = Herro.
Miami could probably do better than this (Spurs?), plus portland would want more than that, so Herro to Nets has less than <5% chance happening.
