Forum Game Rip City S2 Mock Off Season 2018

Yay two teams I didnt want lol......

 

The other guy listed the Grizzlies on his list before you. Besides you have 3 teams.

 

So you give me two Texas teams, both of which are top destinations for LeBron? Lol.

It's all good. Just a little bummed and they're literally carbon copies.

 

Do we need to submit trades to a commish type person?

 

HoopsJock. We could submit in here and have the other confirm.

 

Do we need to make another thread for confirmed transactions? @hoopsjock how do you want to do this?

 

I have a plan with a series of deals where the math barely works on all of them and would make @hoopsjock proud.

 

Thanks, I see that I forgot to say I was talking about Carmelo. He is definitely going to decide to opt in if I ask him to or opt out if I ask him to! That's what great about not having to deal with real life!

 

We're using an outside source to decide who opts in and opts out. You can count on Melo opting in! Haha.

 

I know our deal works and is definitely a great one for you.

 

Are you offering that late first or are you asking for it?

 

I think you'd have to attach a 1st to him. 3 more years of $10M for a guy who should be on the bench at all times. He's a SF version of Meyers IMO.

 

I'm not gonna hide what I am trying to do. (BTW, I think it will be more fun and interesting to do it this way) Trying to build a super team in OKC. I know if I can sign LeBron, then Paul George will sign. Why wouldn't LeBron want to play with Westbrook and George and a healthy defender like Roberson? This is not gonna be easy since I have no first round picks for forever and no good young players.
So I am gonna try to save Cleveland some money and get them out of some bad contracts. Le Bron is gonna sign a max five year deal for $207 million, about $40 million for the first year. I am asking Cleveland to trade him plus their two worst contract guys, JR Smith and Tristan Thompson, for Carmelo (opts in at about $28 million), Steven Adams (best to find a third team to take him) and Alex Abrines. I think the contracts I take in will be about 125% of what I am sending out. I'm throwing in two 2018 second round picks. I know this doesn't really save Cleveland much money; you could just as well just let LeBron go, but maybe they want to honor him byt letting him go and have his max contract. If we can find that third team to take Adams, this would be a lot better deal. Maybe Bones-Jones has some ideas?
