What scoring SF could you see being moved? I'm OKC and need some more scoring everyone bar, Westbrook, Adams and VO are fair game.

Rudy Gay. He's not great by any means, but he's definitely primed to be moved. He's also a potential free agent this upcoming summer (he has a PO that he can pick up in 2017), so you'll be getting him for a trial run at least.

As to who to give up for him ... that's up to you. I definitely wouldn't trade Payne, but I could see Kanter for Gay, though the Kings have plenty of bigs already so you might want to try a three-way trade, send Kanter somewhere for a pick and send that pick to you while sending the Kings your 1st rounder (your 1st rounder is likely to be of lower value than the one gotten for Kanter).

Re: NBA 2K17 Trade Discussion Thread

I traded Rodney Stuckey and one of my two 2017 2nd round picks for Nik Stauskas.

Fair? They declined it straight up without the 2nd round pick included (the 76ers love their picks).

I needed a little more outside shooting with how I've constructed my Pacers roster so Stuckey really didn't fit in.

I figured the 76ers aren't tied to Stauskas as they just acquired him as a cap dump and got a bunch of picks in return. Plus I only wanted to give up Stuckey and a pick, so there wasn't much to choose from. I don't care one way or another about 2nd round picks.


Here's my rotation now:

PG: Jeff Teague/Livingston
SG: Monta Ellis/Stauskas/Anthony Morrow
SF: Paul George/CJ Miles/Stauskas/Morrow
PF: Myles Turner/Marvin Williams/Miles/Jordan Hill
C: Al Jefferson/Amir Johnson/Bender

Yea its fair, they could use a vet to help the young guys and nik doesnt ever play in my game, so if u could put him to use why not lol

Ya I actually use him, surprisingly. He's not that great, but he doesn't have to be. I pair up Livingston and Teague at PG/SG sometimes so Stauskas only gets like 8 minutes a game. But I actually have a use for his skillset compared to Stuckey.

Plus he fits in a SF if I want to go small on my bench and use Miles at PF.

I'm always worried about screwing over the CPU in trades so I end up paying too much it seems lol

Re: NBA 2K17 Trade Discussion Thread

Need some input from you guys!

Traded
Jimmy Butler+Paul Zipser for Kris Dunn, Zach LaVine + Wolfs 2017 first round pick!

Traded Robin Lopez for Cap space to the Jazz

in the first season, which i always sim, Wade+Rondo were both lost for 4 month, so we tanked

Bulls ended up with the 2 Pick overall, 9th from the wolfs, and 13 from the kings

Heat offered Justise Winslow for the 2nd pick + Doggie so i took it! they ended up taking Jayson...

Traded the 9th and 13th pick with my 2020 first pick and 2 2nd round picks for Jamal Murray.

in free agency is where i am at and need your help in picking where to go.

Wade didn't pick up his option and i turned rondo down

Offered Stephen Curry Max and he accepted
Offered Chris Paul Max and he accepted
Offered Blake Griffin Max and he turned it down

Which one between Curry and Paul will u add to this young bulls team
leaning with curry because i can play him at SG next to Kris Dunn

Paul Millsap + Serge Ibaka are still on the board, and need a PF/Center
Which one should i bring in if they both were to accept a deal.

Please give me ur input guys, dont wanna mess this up!

Thanks

Re: NBA 2K17 Trade Discussion Thread

What do you guys think about this three team trade:

To Boston: Blake Griffin, Paul Pierce

To LAC: Bradley, 19 1st from MEM (from Boston), Will Barton & Kenneth Faried

To Denver: Amir Johnson, 18 1st BOS, 19 1st LAC (from Boston)

Reasoning:

Boston - Gets Blake without giving up either of the Nets picks. Pierce is basically just a throw in because of the three players going back to LA and for sentimental reasons, of course.

LAC - Gets three starters back for Blake and what could be a nice draft pick in the 2019 draft. With the additions of Bradley (a player Doc loves) and Faired, they should have one of the best defenses in the league. Barton immediately improve their weakest starting position.

DEN: This trade for Denver is mainly just a way to dump Faried contract more than anything. Trading his 3 year deal for Amir's 1 year deal gives them more flexibility for the future. Also, moving him opens up more minutes for the young guys. Amir would be a good vet that would take fewer minutes than Faired and give them great depth down low. Barton is a good player, but isn't needed with the depth they have at SF/SG. The picks could help them continue their rebuild in the future.

Barton is a good player, but isn't needed with the depth they have at SF/SG. The picks could help them continue their rebuild in the future.

My opinion as follows:

On the face of it, I don't hate it. I just feel like the Clippers are getting way too little here. Blake is, to them, what Pierce was to the Celtics -- a homegrown talent they invested in and who stayed with the franchise back when it wasn't at its highest point (and some could make the case the Clippers reached their lowest points during Blake's early years).

CP3 isn't getting any younger, so if GM Doc deems to trade Blake, he's got to get back someone who can:

A) Help Paul, Reddick, and Jordan this year and next
B) Have long-term potential to take over as the face of the franchise
C) Fill a need

On the face of it, thanks to Denver's inclusion here, GM Doc does get A and C. Barton and Faried both fill needs -- Barton giving him a young SG/SF to use that's a huge upgrade over Pierce or Wesley Johnson and Faried fills in the the slot at the 4 vacated by Blake.

But Barton has already exceeded any expectation of him and further development -- into a fringe all-star perhaps -- is unlikely. Faried is a good defender and glass eater, but his offensive game is more limited than Blake's and starting him and Jordan together would absolutely murder any spacing the Clippers would have. You stick Faried or Jordan in the post and the other has to vacant, rendering their best skills far less effective.

Bradley is a nice get -- but ultimately redundant with Reddick there (though Bradley is the far superior defender, he's not nearly as prolific as Reddick is from deep) and, as a sixth-man, would excel but is fighting for minutes with Crawford and Rivers; you can't put all three out at the same time (Crawford would be eaten alive, Rivers is effective but inconsistent).

Ultimately, I don't see the need for the Nuggets in this trade. Would they like to take that contract they gave Faried back? Probably. But does it matter to them? No. Most of their players are signed to cheap deals and are young. Cap space isn't hurting for them right now and, when it does, Faried's deal will be off the books. The 1st rounders are nice, but what good does that do them? They don't need more 1st rounders, they need a star. Is Mudiay that? Maybe, but he hasn't proved it yet. Denver, much like Boston, has a number of cheap, young assets under control for a few years that could develop into something. But they simply don't have an asset you're really excited about, except maybe Jokic or Nurkic, but those being bigs means that the Clippers shouldn't care.

If you eliminate Denver and make this a straight trade between the Clippers and Celtics, you make a much better case. But then that's still not quite enough, because Doc doesn't get anyone to be the franchise face of the future. So you add in Brown -- it's either him or a Nets pick, and if I were Boston I'd ship him way before the Nets pick. The Clippers would want Brown over a pick anyway I think seeing as he gives them something in the now AND in the future.


To Boston: Blake Griffin, Paul Pierce, Alan Anderson (Filler)

To LAC: Bradley, 19 1st from MEM (from Boston), Amir Johnson, 18 1st BOS, 19 1st LAC (from Boston), Jaylen Brown

It's a steep trade for Boston in terms of future assets, but considering they have the Nets picks, these other ones are nothing. Doc gets back Johnson -- a 4 that has a little range and, more importantly, gives the Clippers some cap relief next summer when he comes off the books -- and gets Brown, who'll instantly start -- and a bundle of picks in 2018/19 that he'll need to either A) reload around CP3/Jordan or B) rebuild after both leave.

In either case, Doc is in good position. The Celtics get their new star in Blake, their old star in Pierce, and someone to sit on the bench to play in emergency situations in Anderson.

I feel this is the most realistic trade for Blake between these two parties.

Re: NBA 2K17 Trade Discussion Thread

My opinion as follows:

Thanks for your input. One part I did leave out is Blake has a player option coming up so I could potentially
A) be giving up a bunch of assets just to have him leave
or
B) could just hold off to see if he's available as a FA and sign him then

That's part of the reason for my low ball offer and I think him not resigning is what held this deal up from happening in real life (that what some of the rumors were this summer anyway). I'm going to have to really think about it because it's a big gamble, but I'd love to add a Superstar like Blake to form my Big 3.

Blake is a pretty loyal guy. I think, with the history of Boston and -- more importantly -- it's signing of Horford (the first notable free agent signing in Boston in ... years at least?), the attitude about the Celtics is changing. Plus, coming from the Clippers -- where the team doesn't seem to have any status in that town except as "the other team" -- Blake would feel some genuine fan love/appreciation.

And having Doc trade him, as opposed to anyone else, would definitely light a fire under him. Winning a title with Doc's former team before Doc does would be a sweet, sweet piece of payback, don't you think?

Re: NBA 2K17 Trade Discussion Thread

trekfan.. or anyone really:

I want to play as the Celtics in a MyLeague and I want to get a new big three formed in Boston. I don't really like Bradley and Crowder going forward so what would you suggest I do to form a big three around Horford's talents?

Basically, what SG and SF would you target and who would you give up to get them? I'm not a big fan of the rookie Brown either, so he could be included in any potential trade in my universe lol.

Well, that depends on what you want to do with Horford. Al's very versatile and could fit into any offense you deem to run -- he could stay inside and play low-post, he could drift outside and knock down some triples, he could live in the mid-range and work the high-post with turnarounds ... you could do a lot with him.

So, what are you looking to do with your team? You have Thomas, who's a scorer/drive and pass creator, but undersized. Ideally, if you're looking to move on from Bradley and Crowder, you're gonna want a co-second/third option to replace Bradley (and someone who can bring an above-average defense to the team).

Crowder is a glue guy, a plug-and-play type, so if you're looking to move on from him you're going to want to either clearly upgrade from him -- think Jimmy Butler (not Rudy Gay) or grab someone who fits better with your plans long-term (Brown apparently does not, so he's a bargaining chip to use however you feel).

I miss my old KG, Allen, Pierce Celtics basically.. Post work, good mid range from KG, catch and shoot Ray Allen, and do-it-all Paul Pierce.

I feel like I can make Al Horford work much the same way that KG did when he came to Boston. I'll probably go back to the 07-08 Celtics playbook as well.. which played inside out for the most part i think.

Who would you target as the new "Ray Allen" and the new "Paul Pierce"? I know I could just make a custom roster and use the old Celtics but I honestly don't want to break the immersion like that. I want to find the future big 3 of the franchise and use current players only.

Re: NBA 2K17 Trade Discussion Thread

I'm 42 games in Season 1 with the Knicks. I'm 23-19, First in the Division and 4th in the conference. Played 10 games, summed 10 games.

Melo and DRose are leading the team in Scoring (19ppg, 17 ppg) with KP averaging 15 ppg.

Brandon Jennings got hurt in the first game and missed the first month which led me to sign Norris Cole out of Free Agency.

So far Kyle Quinn(7ppg, 10 rpg), Norris Cole (7ppg, 6apg) and Kuzminskas (10ppg) have been killing it for me coming off the bench. Brandon Jennings still hasn't played a game-check since coming back from injury.

With half the season over, I'm making a push into the playoffs. I took a quick look around the league and noticed that the Clippers are sitting at 16-27 with Jordan and Redick missing considerable time to injury.

My question is, should I make a trade for Chris Paul at this time? The Clippers will almost certainly miss the playoffs this year and Chris Paul would be fuming. Although this situation may not be realistic in real life, I believe it's definitely realistic in this scenario.

What trade would be realistic? I'm definitely not giving up KP, as CP3 will probably be walking at the end of the year and I would have the upper hand in this scenario.

I'm thinking a Point and Shooting Guard swap would work Rose and Lee for Paul and Crawford (or Redick which I prefer but Cap space) and possibly a draft pick thrown in.

DRose has definitely performed great and I see it as the Clippers will somewhat make up for the loss of Paul.

*Update*
I'm at the Allstars break, sitting at 30-27. 5th in Conference, 2nd in Division, back one game behind the Raptors.

The Clippers are 20-36 tied for Dead last in the NBA with the Nets.
