Forum Game Rip City S2 Mock Off Season 2018

Good luck shopping Adams, he makes so much money.

LeBron's opt-in date is June 29th. Melo's is the same I think, and you have to wait for Melo to opt-in to trade him, so I don't know how you can make that work. A sign-and-trade with LeBron would hard cap you and you'd have to shed a lot of salary.

Also I feel like LeBron wouldn't want to play with Westbrook. They would clash heavily.

Just my 2 cents!

 

I will disclose nothing. Focused on the Pheonix Suns more than anything.

 

Except that the Spurs have put LaMarcus Aldridge on the block and are looking for unguarunteed contracts and a draft pick or two.

 

This is really only chance for OKC. If they can't get LeBron, they lose George and have a crappy team with no assets or draft picks to improve with. In fact if we lose George I am thinking of trading Westbrook and Adams and anybody else who has the slightest value and go into the tank mode.

 

As for my Orlando team; this team has some talent and is still young and seems fairly balanced. I'm gonna try to trade my 2 2018 second round picks and move up for a 2nd first round pick. I got the 35th and 41st pick in the second round. Atlanta, are you interested in trading for #30?
I think I might try to sign Avery Bradley as my first choice; this team needs some defense. If not him, Will Barton. If not them, Isiah Thomas if he is OK physically or maybe Napier.

 

I don't know; LeBron played with Irving. I think LeBron really wants to play with someone as tough as he is. You're right about Adams; he is a damn good player but paid a lot with limited offensive skills.

 

The skillsets and play-styles don't co-exist. Kyrie ain't like Russ.

I'd think LeBron would want to play with Paul George, Kawhi Leonard, and Karl-Anthony Towns instead.

 

Hoopsjock, just for interest from us outsiders, can you provide a list of participants and their teams they represent? It would make it easier to follow along.

 

those are on the first page

 

I can't wait to see your super trade that makes that happen!

 

Bones, what is the trade you're proposing to Denver?

 

Can us GMs sign and trade a RFA in this game?

 

I think the intent is to get to free agency a bit later. We still have to do the draft.

 

@hoopsjock is this correct? Draft before we do any trades? I think previously you said trades could be done with this years salary until a certain point. Just making sure I understand.

 

You can trade at anytime, but to sign-and-trade a free agent, it'd have to be during the free agent period, which is after the draft.

 

No

 

No, trade away but this is just like real life. You can't trade free agents at all in real life either. You can't trade players who have player options unless they've officially accepted that option in real life. You can also trade picks. So for the Blazers you can pretty much trade anyone other than Nurk, Napier, Connaughton, and Davis. You also have the 24th pick and the trade exceptions.

 

In real life you can trade before the draft, then there is the actual draft, still more trades during and after and then free agency.

 

Message me back foo'!

 

I'm really curious who's going to be @BonesJones first victim, errrr I mean trade partner.
