Forum Game Rip City Two 2019 Mock Off Season - Trade Discussions

But what is your plan really? They ve never been a free agent destination as well so? I mean the purpose is to do something good for them. The way i see it your team would be even bad for G League and the Spurs fans would not normally accept it as it has not been like this for 20 years now. And you won't even be here for next season's free agency so how will your work be judged. We just do it for this summer.

 

Milwaukee and Memphis possibly entering into this potential blockbuster trade consisting of several moves!!

 

I agree with @BonesJones

Thursday is best for me.

 

Could happily involved in either direction. Either facilitate with TPE or by adding an expiring (Lee) if needed.

 

I will be working until 6:30 but will have internet access and hopefully not much work to do. It is then a 25 minute drive home. 5 o clock any week day is ok.

 

Well first off HJ has said multiple times to try to build your team like it's not just for this summer. So my plan is pretty simple, Texas / San Antonio is a place Free agents have gone, we still have Pops, we have a lot of draft picks and we a ton of salary cap space. They would destroy a G-League team, by the way, that's just nonsense. So I have a team that all of a sudden is young, not trodden down by big contracts to guys that aren't good enough to bring a title. I also got 3, 1st rounders this year and SAS has been good at finding guys mid to late 1st round.

Much rather be in that position then a borderline playoff team and 1st round exit with not much cap space and guys that don't really fit the modern NBA. Demar and LMA are both good, but they can't be your main pieces.

 

Not sure if you would call any of these guys quality vets, but Cleveland has John Henson, Mosgov and Brandon Knight. They will throw in a second round pick also opn the two with the biggest contracts. (they are all expiring). Knight is healthy again and had some good games late in the season. Henson has recovered from wrist surgery and has been averaging about 10 rebounds and 2 blocks per 36 in his last two years. Under Budenholzer he was encouraged to take threes and hit at .355 with six attempts a game.

 

Yes, we do it for this summer but I personally have tried also to do what is best for the longer term.

 

Slow

 

If you’re doing it this weekend, I will send you my boards one for NYK one for the Spurs. Just in case I cant make it.

 

Indiana is getting in on their first taste of the action this off season.

The People's Champ: Will "The Thrill" Barton is about to be a Pacer!

The Bucks are getting the 18th pick as they continue to shed salary.

The Grizzlies have landed Mo Bamba along with Dougie Buckets.

 

One of the reasons for waiting is that I know there are trades (such as yours) that involve draft picks but also require future cap space to pull off. Doing the draft Thursday doesn't give me enough time to clear all those moves along with getting everyone's team decisions processed. What happens if someone is picked for you at #3 and the trade falls apart later? I'm fine pushing it later into next week too if people can't make Sunday work.

For the record, the draft was going to be a long, slow drawn out period giving everyone plenty of time to execute their picks since we all have different schedules.

 

Yay!

 

My "issue" is that with those moves you don't have Pop. He retired. You also let your dislike for DeRozans style of play to get in the way and you sold extremely low on him. This is my opinion of course. I don't agree with your plan so far because some teams have established a certain culture and you going against it, but you are the new GM that i suppose was hired to shake things so that is ok.

 

It's not that I don't like DeRozan, I just don't think you can win with two midrange guys that can't shoot 3's in today's NBA. I probably sold a bit low on him, but I did get out of 3-4 years of his contract. I think he and LMA are fine but have much longer contracts that I'd like for a team that doesn't seem to be going anywhere. I actually think the Spurs are making a mistake right now by trying to hang on to this, "We've been successful" thing, they were successful when they had 3 guys who will be HoF'ers. Trying to "extend" that with a couple of borderline all-stars, doesn't make much sense. I think the guy I'll regret trading the most is Murray actually. Pop's signed on to coach team USA, and is going to be extended with the spurs for 3-4 more years at least. Next summer, depending on how things go I've got a shot to bring in AD, Draymond Green, Kevin Durant (he likes signing one year deals), Porzingis may be available too.

 

DeRozan only had 2 years left on his contract.

 

And 2nd is a player option and i really think there is a chance he opts out to get a last big deal before he loses one more year of his prime. But that is speculation right now.
