Forum Game Rip City S2 Mock Off Season 2018

LOL I love how a good player just gets volunteered to be included.

 

@hoopsjock Since Udoh's contract isn't guaranteed till 7/9, CC can trade it to me without it being guaranteed first, and it'd count as salary correct?

If not, then C.C. can guarantee it. Chris, send San Antonio Udoh instead of O'Neale then?

 

It was subject to your approval, and I was essentially asking you.

 

I'm just trying to make this work bruh. Of course it'd be subject to Chris's approval.

 

Is that for all teams, or just on Utah's end?

 

I love the NBA's CBA lmao.

 

You're seriously going to be like that?

 

I was trying to figure out a way to make the trade work logistically before I came back and sought the approval of everyone.

 

Just for Utah and Cleveland I believe. I think the bottom line is this: It possibly works similarly constructed but you need that slight difference in contracts between Love and Gallinari to make it work completely. Can you make it work if they trade them straight across first? If not then I don't think this is valid.

I think it's a stupid rule, same with the non-guaranteed new rule, but we have to play by the rules.

 

I kind of understand it but there's easier ways to protect from teams trading for a higher salary, then trading that again for an even higher salary, etc.

I definitely could make it work. It'd be fine on Utah's end, and Cleveland would simply have to send me Clarkson or Smith instead of Korver... But apparently all this is for nothing lol.

 

@hoopsjock Gallo to Cleveland and Love to Utah, but those two and draft picks are excluded to show how the trade would work without them

CLE Gets: Kawhi Leonard, Ekpe Udoh, Thabo Sefelosha (TPE)
UTA Gets: Dwight Powell
SAS Gets: J.R. Smith, Cedi Osman, Ante Zizic
DAL Gets: LaMarcus Aldridge

or this one (picks would be different):

CLE Gets: Kawhi Leonard, Ekpe Udoh, Thabo Sefelosha (TPE)
UTA Gets: J.R. Smith
SAS Gets: Dwight Powell, Jonas Jerebko, Cedi Osman, Ante Zizic
DAL Gets: LaMarcus Aldridge

 

Seemed like you did it because of the Royce O'Neal thing haha. I wasn't trying to put one over I was just trying to figure out a way to make things work logistically.

What if I sent in #33 your way? Love would be a perfect fit with Gobert, and you're team is improved with Conley in there. You'd have a team that could contend IMO. Love, Conley, Gobert, and Mitchell is nasty. #33 could get a rotation player too.

 

@Chris Craig I have two different options for you. Hopefully you'll like one.

Option 1:
UTA Gets: Kevin Love, Dwight Powell, #33
UTA Sends: #13, #21, Gallinari, Sefelosha, Udoh

Option 2:
UTA Gets: Kevin Love, J.R. Smith
UTA Sends: #13, Gallinari, Jerebko, Udoh

 

How about I send you a future 2nd and I keep the 33rd?

 

You're getting an all-star who's a perfect fit for your team for a late lottery pick, and you're shedding $10M of bad salary by swapping Gallinari for Smith, and also getting a future 2nd.. That's an absolute steal.
