Wiggins is untouchable.

I know, but the other user that was looking for a deal for him made me want to explore it, even if it won't happen.

Re: NBA 2K15 Trade Discussion Thread

There was a report that just came out, saying that the Celtics and Nuggets were engaged in trade talks about Ty Lawson, and that Denver could also be looking to move Faried, so I did some research and how about one of these...

Celtics Receive: Ty Lawson, Kenneth Faried

Nuggets Receive: Marcus Smart, Avery Bradley, Brandon Bass, 1st Round Pick

OR

Celtics Receive: Ty Lawson, Gary Harris

Nuggets Receive: Marcus Smart, Avery Bradley, 2nd Round Pick

OR

Celtics Receive: Ty Lawson, Kenneth Faried, JaVale McGee

Nuggets Receive: Marcus Smart, Avery Bradley, Brandon Bass, Marcus Thornton, Tyler Zeller

Any of these look like realistic deals?

I think the third one is least realistic because Boston wouldn't want to take on McGee's contract.

As a Celtics fan, I would take the first trade. But you have to give a up this years first and I think it should be a top 3 protected pick. If you get in the top 3, then they get a first next year. Also I think an extra first from next years draft, you should have like 4 or 5 firsts. And if you get a top 3 pick give them another first from this years draft.

And the Magic deal is a no go, Wiggins is untouchable.

Re: NBA 2K15 Trade Discussion Thread

This isn't a move I'm looking to make, its a report that came out. Getting Smart is the only way the Nuggets ship Lawson to Boston.

Not necessarily. Boston could offer some unprotected picks to Denver.

I still think that Smart has to be in the deal. No matter what.

I wouldn't. I think Smart's upside is beyond Lawson's and if you hold onto that pick with as bad as you are you get a chance at a better player than Faried high in the lottery. Just my opinion though.

I could maybe see Bradley instead of Smart. I think Ty Lawson is being over valued.

Of course Wiggins is untouchable, a lot of players are, but the original guy that asked asked for fairness not realism. Let's keep that in mind.

OK then didn't realise that. Then Undertaker's proposal is a good for me.

Re: NBA 2K15 Trade Discussion Thread

I've read a report about it, I did not see any indication of it.

It doesn't metion any players that could go to Denver, but one would have to assume they aren't going to just take a first or 2 and a trade exception.

I don't think there is any "fair" deal for Wiggins that doesn't include one of the top 10 players in the NBA today heading to Minnesota as part of the package

" Lowe writes that Boston won’t relinquish Smart in any deal for Lawson."

"Still, Lawson is tied for the league lead with a career-high 10.1 assists per game, and his salary of nearly $11.596MM would fit within Boston’s massive trade exception worth more than $12.909MM left over from the Rondo trade, so the Nuggets could offload his salary without taking anyone back. "

For the team trading away that top 10 player. Let's not overvalue Wiggins here.

Wow, I totally missed that part about not relinquishing Smart. They could offload his salary without taking anyone back, but the question is, would they?

I'm not. You're talking about trading away a guy who has the upside as the next great player in the league. Minnesota isn't trading him in his rookie year for what amounts to a combo guard and a tweener athlete.
