      Try trading him to, say, the Thunder? I guarantee there's some definitive interest there for him.

      I bet Melo could get you something along the lines of:

      Enes Kanter, Doug McDermott and a 2018 2nd Round Pick from the Bulls?

        Anyway, Bulls wouldn't need (2) 1st Round Picks, I bet they'd ship him for a protected one as mentioned above.

            Fair, realistic? I need veteran point guard who can score off the bench. Lopez and Ball take on way too big of a burden IMO. Just had both of them score 30-35 last game and still lost to Wizards by 27. It was awful. Lopez gets double teamed and KCP is just inconsistent as hell.

            Also what can I get for Randle? One game he posts 17-13-4 statline and next game it's 5-6-1 with 3 TOs.
            Any idea about this?

                I used the ESPN trade machine and was able to get it to match up using Ryan Anderson and Trevor Ariza. Might wanna give them something more with Carmelo cause those are some good pieces.

                  I think Collision trade is mostly fair, not like Indiana needs him for anything this season anyway, and Clarkson is undervalued on LA. I think Randle should net decent to good pieces, he's about to enter RFA and is almost certain to get a max deal, so if the team is hoping to sign him I think you could get a ~78, protected 1st and maybe another player/2nd rounder

                    I really want Eric Gordon in that trade.

                      lol well if you want EJ that bad, just try EJ/Ryno for like Melo/Lance Thomas or O'quinn, I would imagine those salaries are relatively close.

                        I'm strongly considering a MyLeague with the Pelicans, and I've got two different trade scenarios for you guys. I may not do either because I like the challenge of playing against a loaded Western Conference without using an elite team, but I'm looking at possibilities to improve the team's overall depth and outside scoring. I already tested them and they'd be accepted, but let me know who you think gets the better of these deals and if they're realistic:

                        Trade #1
                        76ers get: DeMarcus Cousins, unprotected 1st rounder, and random wing player X
                        Pelicans get: Joel Embiid and Robert Covington

                        I think this one is pretty even considering the massive gamble on Embiid's health. Honestly, it could be a home run either way depending on that and whether Cousins signed long-term.

                        Trade #2
                        Bulls get: Solomon Hill and 2 unprotected 1st round picks
                        Pelicans get: Zach LaVine

                        2 unprotected 1st rounders for a guy coming off a torn ACL seems like way too much, but I loved using LaVine in the random game I played as the Bulls, and the Pelicans need more perimeter scoring and explosiveness.
                        There's really too many unknowns about the first trade for me to accept it, at least not to start the season anyway. The value is likely there and the the two main pieces contract situations are similar, so my main things are 1) Boogie's happiness in NOLA and 2) Joel's health.

                        If Boogie is happy then I give him and AD more time. I'm not sure if there's ever been two big men who are as skilled on the same team so you have to give them more than 16 games together. Embiid is about to start what should be his 4th NBA season but has only played in 31 games, he could very well be the next Greg Odon. However, If he can remain healthy until closer to the All-Star break and the Pelicans don't look like they can do anything major in the West, then I'd strongly consider it. Although, I would want light protection on the pick in case Embiid is one and done.

                        As far as trade #2, Zach LaVine isn't worth two unprotected picks. Maybe one Top 10 protected pick or even two picks (one Top 10 protected and one lottery protected) if they'll take Asik off of your hands but not two by himself.

                        I've been playing with the Pel's quite a bit and honestly, I'd be more interested in trying to get someone like Portis from Chicago. I think that Rondo, Jrue and the rest of their marry band of misfit combo guards can keep the Pel's above water as long as AD and Boogie do their thing and remain healthy. However, if one of those two go down with a serious injury, then it's Ova (with a capital O).

                          I will see if Clarkson can get more consistent. Will keep Randle at the moment. Having this trade on hold until Xmass in the game. Collison is solid defender on shorter PGs and should have no problem on defense considering I have three good guards on defense in Ball, Hart and KCP and also can put Matt Barnes on SG if need be. He is proving like a really valuable piece so defense is decent. Only gripe is offense and Collison should help that since his shot is really good and can handle PnR really well.

                            Considering a hard reboot on the pistons (Firing Stan Van, trading Drummond and Jackson), who would be a good young guard and what would be the price? I was thinking someone like Muddiay or Exum or Wade Baldwin. Not trying to fleece with someone like Fultz or Ball haha

                              Excellent analysis. I was a little discouraged with Boogie after using the Pelicans for a few Play Now games. His post hook, post fade and post spin shot animations don't offer much separation and are relatively ineffective, especially when compared to AD's. However, his size, rebounding, 3 point shooting, and dream shake fade have made me rethink things. Plus I happen to be a huge fan of Boogie IRL. I had League Pass a few years back and watched an absurd amount of Kings games, even though they were awful, because his game is so unique...and he was always on the verge of doing something crazy haha. That trade would definitely be a VERY high-risk, high-reward proposition for both sides, which makes it extra interesting. That said, I sometimes find myself tweaking my teams too much in these games and end up wishing I'd just used the roster as is. I think I'll hang onto him and see how things play out.

                              It's interesting you mention Portis because I actually have him on my short list of targets! He would offer some badly needed shooting and spacing for the second unit, which includes Diallo and Ajinca in the 2K18 base roster, neither of whom can shoot at all. Portis could also probably be had on the cheap, and I think it's more realistic to swing a trade for him than a bigger name. Any other suggestions for a decent stretch 4 for the bench squad?
