NBA 2K15 Trade Discussion Thread

Re: NBA 2K15 Trade Discussion Thread

First off Rondo and CP3 are the last "true" PGs by that standard lol.

But anyway addressing the trade. No disrespect but that trade would get the Bucks GM fired on the spot. The bucks view the Greek Freak and Parker as their building blocks for the future. So no way do either get dealt unless its for a proven all star in a package deal.

As for Rubio his trade value is no where near that high, currently he is requesting a Max and the only people in the world who think he's worth that are him, his agent, and his parents. Minnesota might just want to move him anyway seeing as he is not all that good and he could turn into a headache seeing as how he was one before when it came to showing up to Minnesota after draft, but more importantly he is not worth the money. Rubio is a below average starting PG and is worse than some backups (Reggie Jackson). His jumper is broken and teams don't even guard him.

Here are the stats from last season. Giannis is only 19 and while his numbers aren't all that impressive neither are Rubio's, and Rubio is 23. Also Rubio can't even shoot over 40% from the field. Also look at Hensons numbers looks better than a Rubio. Tough to compare a big to a guard but you see my point those two are way too much for Rubio. Now ifs you are willing to move Giannis which you seem willing to do (I think its a mistake) then you have to be looking into getting a better player coming back. That trade offer is giving up a 19 yr old potentially really good player, a solid role guy in Henson, and a pick who could turn out to be a good player as well seeing the Bucks might be bad for years, including 2017. In my opinion its a terrible deal for the Bucks but if you want Rubio that bad do it, its your team and its not unrealistic in the fact that you are the one whose getting ripped off so the Wolves would do that in a heartbeat so thats not unrealistic.

Think of that Wolves future...

Rubio isn't that bad. I don't see Rubio realistically being moved, even if he enters RFA. I think the wolves GM will match any offer for him

Started up a MyLeauge with the Hornets. Looking to acquire Khris Middleton and Nate Wolters from the bucks. Want to keep kemba, lance, MKG, Al Jefferson and preferably Gary Neal. All picks available.

Rubio is an offensive liability until he gets a jumper which he has shown no progress in. Yeah he can pass the ball but go grab Kendall Marshall if you want that. Seeing as how Marshall is on the Bucks they'd just play him over moving the Giannis to get a sub 40% player from the field. Rubio is a bottom 5-7 point guard in regards to starters, why trade for him?

Especially why trade Giannis, Henson, and a pick? Thats a laughable trade.

Look at the Marshall's stats compared to Rubio. Rubio is a slight upgrade over him and Marshall is going to be a backup for the Bucks, so why trade three valuable pieces in Giannis, Henson, and a pick for Rubio? Makes no sense. Also give me Brandon Knight over Rubio any day of the week.

Re: NBA 2K15 Trade Discussion Thread

Starting up my myleague now gonna start the road to the playoffs with the Pelicans.

From this roster I like our pieces except I think Gordon needs to be moved for a SF so I can send Reke back to SG. Now I don't expect to get much for Gordon as I am very realistic with my trades so I was just wondering what you guys think I should go after.

Take into consideration the team fit for Gordon and keep them realistic. Reason I need help is cause I have a rule to not make any trades unless I talk to someone about why or why not the trade should go down. Somewhat like discussing with another teams gm but while not trusting the cpu.

Thanks in advance!

Re: NBA 2K15 Trade Discussion Thread

I am Looking at moving Rondo, I want Smart to be my PG of the future, I really need some inside help.

Where could you see him being moved to and what can I expect for him?

Re: NBA 2K15 Trade Discussion Thread

Have Pacers in Myleague. Sitting Paul George season 1. Only moves ive done so far is release Donald Sloan and sign Jermaine O'Neal. With the current team i have i will probably get the 7th or 8th seed but will be bounced out in 1st round. West is on a player option for next year and can walk. Pacers are gonna have some cap issues in a year or 2 if i keep everyone. Thinking of moving West but want a realistic trade.

Raptors offered me

Patrick Patterson and Landry Fields for David West and Jermaine O'Neal. I get a good young player in PPatt and some cap relief. Raptors get a good vet that could help them advance in playoffs.

I also wouldnt mind going after Cody Zellar. Thoughts on my scenarios or any other things you guys think could work out?

Re: NBA 2K15 Trade Discussion Thread

I am using the Celtics as my rebuild team and moved him and Tyler Zeller to Orlando for Vucevic and Aaron Gordon. Not sure how realistic that is but the trade worked without adjusting any of the trade sliders and trade override off.

In no means Orlando would give away their top center and a young talent like Gordon for Rondo and T.Zeller.
Besides this they have also young talent in payton in the pg position. So no need to trade for Rondo.

Ok well i had 1 person tell me im not giving enough for rubio then another say im giving too kuch for rubio. I want to keep greek. I dont like knight and im not confident enough with marshall. Rubio not only makes the offense easier for me with passing but he also gets about 3 steals a game. So what if i traded

Knight, Henson, Clippers #1 2017

For

Rubio, Brewer or Shabazz


If not what would a owner of the twolves counter with thats realistic

Options:

-Atlanta: Rondo for Schroeder, Teague, Jenkins, and two picks?

-Detroit: Rondo & Wallace for Monroe, Jerebko, Bynum, & two firsts.(Rumor)

-Houston: Don't know how but Morey will try...

-Indiana: Don't know how Bird would pull it off now...

-L.A. Lakers: Rondo & Wallace for Randle, Lin, Nash, & picks.(Rumor)

-New York: Rondo & Green for Stat, Early, Hardaway Jr., and two 1st round picks?

-Sacramento: Something around Ben, Derrick, others, & picks for Rondo?

The only problem with the Atlanta one is they're looking to relinquish control to Smart bringing in 2 point guards would hinder that.

I highly doubt that the Lakers trade will happen. And I don't see why the Lakers would give up Randle. I think he could be the next cornerstone for that franchise. Until last season I don't think the Lakers had a lottery pick since Kobe. I also don't think the Pistons will take on that Wallace contract AND give up Monroe and two 1sts unless they are like that top 20 protected or right to swap picks or some other thing like that.

Most of this options will not work, you have to keep in mind that Rondo contract is expiring, so no GM of any team would trade their 1st round picks or young talents like Randle Hardeway Jr. if Rondo not signing a contract and going into free agency.

Rondo is hard to tade in a realistic way, because if he is traded to a small market team he will surely not resign and go into free agency.
And for big market teams, their are not many teams who needs the skills of a Rondo (mostly LA but they dont have enogh trade pieces to make it)

As a Bucks fan I wouldn't trade any one of those 3 pieces by themself for Rubio or even the 3 player package. I'd consider the 2017 first assuming it's the one from the Clippers but I'm not moving a 23 yo rim protector and a 22 yo scoring pg for a IMO average PG with no shooting skills, a defensive minded 2/3 and a overhyped bust.

To think you even considered trading Giannis sickens me, let alone trade him for that garbage.

Re: NBA 2K15 Trade Discussion Thread

I'm trying to trade away Rondo as well and it's tricky.

The Celtics want to move Rondo and Gerald Wallace together and I'd assume a future 1st round pick would be on the table as well to help soften the blow of Rondo's 1 year deal.

With that being said, New York is great suitor for him, but he doesn't fit in their system at all. The only player I could see the Celtics really wanting from them is Tim Hardaway Jr. and the Knicks think very highly of him so Shumpert is more likely. Amare would have to be a part of the deal as well. With that in mind, I decided that Rondo would be enough leverage to pull Hardaway into the mix so this is the trade I'm looking at currently.

Celtics Trade: Rajon Rondo, Gerald Wallace, 2018 First Round Pick

Knicks Trade: Tim Hardaway Jr., Amar'e Stoudemire, 2018 First Round Pick, 2017 First Round Pick

What do you guys think? The salaries and everything match up so it's a legitimate trade. The Knicks get Stoudemire's deal off their books and take on Wallace's which is half of the cap space (I bumped up the hard cap as well because of the TV deal) and Rondo of course. The Celtics get Hardaway Jr. who is really going to help on the offensive end and Stoudemire for basically a season long trial run. I also threw in the Knicks sending over their 2017 first round pick and the Celtics and Knicks swapping their 2018 first rounders.

I think this is probably as realistic as it's going to get in regards to Rondo.

I think the Bucks would have to pull the trigger on Rubio for Knight, since Knight isn't very good. I think they'd probably want to avoid trading Henson in a deal for him, although I might just be overvaluing Henson.
