NBA Association Trade Talks

[Mit]

That is a pretty nice trade. I like that Kobe/Baron combo that the Lakers would have.

[Mit]

How does this deal look? I think it is decent. By the way, I am controlling the Thunder.

Portland Trail Blazers Receive:
PF Chris Wilcox 77 OVR (6.50 Mill for 2 years)
SF Desmond Mason 68 OVR (5.00 Mill for 2 years)
SF Joe Smith 68 OVR (5.00 Mill for 2 years)

Oklahoma City Thunder Receive:
C Raef LaFrentz 63 OVR (12.44 Mill for 2 Years)
C Greg Oden 75 OVR (4.66 Mill for 4 years)

I thought it was a decent trade for both sides. I like Aldridge and Wilcox would make a good duo. Also, Smith and Mason add two good veteran options off the bench and would be able to compete with Martell Webster for the starting SF job. I personally like Greg Oden and that would be my future C. I think I would be able to build my team around Oden, Durant, and Westbrook. LaFrentz was just an add in for salary purposes. I have not gone through with this deal, but I saw that the CPU would accept to this. I might do this later in the season, but I wanted to see what you guys thought.

Blazers wouldn't trade Oden. Lafrentz an add in for salary purposes? lol, you mean a very lucrative 13 million expiring.

Not realistic in the slightest.

Okay. Lafrentz isn't expiring. He has two years on him, but what else Centers you think I could go for? I want a fairly young one that's decent. I was thinking maybe Eddy Curry, Joakim Noah, or Al Horford?

[mfbmike]

Hm, he should be expiring if the rosters you were using were accurate. Joakim Noah/Curry would be the most realistic of those 3 you mentioned.

Curry especially.

Sean Williams is awesome.

Al Horford/Oden are the future of their respective franchises.

[Mit]

What do you guys think about Channing Frye?

[Mit]

After stuffing around with some trades, I have come up with one. I know that this trade gets accepted.

Minnesota Give:
Randy Foye, SG (MEM)
Mark Madsen, PF (DEN)
Rodney Carney, SF (DEN)
Shelden Williams, PF (MEM)

Denver Give:
Steven Hunter, C (MIN)
Renaldo Balkman, SF (MIN)
Dahntay Jones, SG (MEM)

Grizzlies Give:
Hakim Warrick, PF (MIN)
Quinton Ross, SG (DEN)
Darius Miles, SF (DEN)

It's an okay deal, but I don't think you are getting that much talent in return.

[LC AAU]

I think you should be able to still get more.

[Juggernaut]

Any idea of a trade between the nuggets giving allen iverson and the grizzlies giving oj mayo could be fair? I would get guys with big contracts and they would get smaller contracts in order to make the salaries match.

[The Messenger]

lol hell no. OJ Mayo will be the next best scorer in the league pretty soon after guys like Kobe, Lebron, and Wade.

[Juggernaut]

This wouldn't be a "realistic" trade, i get that. But in terms of fairness, how would it be? AI is a 94 ovr and Mayo is an 80 ovr. This wouldnt be used for an online chise, just me trying to get a player i like onto the team i'm chising with.

[Irish]

Why would you trade away Bynum for anybody?

[A Tasty Burgerr]

You probably aren't going to have any cap even with Okur's expiring, so it's definitely better to hold onto Bynum.

[mfbmike]

You can't score with Bynum?

Pound that shit inside. Hit him on pick and rolls. He's a tank. Just on clean up buckets alone he should get 12 ppg. lol. Not to mention he's an awesome rebounder.

[Mit]

Bynum is great and he is much better than Okur. I think you should just stick with Bynum for now and see how that works out. He is still young, so it takes some time for young guys to mature.
