Re: NBA 2K19 - Trade Discussion Thread

Well if the Suns didn't sign a PG they could really use Rivers. And I think Warren isn't worth a 1st pick.

Thanks for the feedback!

I was also considering McDermott, Leaf and 2 seconds for Jordan Clarkson which seems like a realistic deal too.

Re: NBA 2K19 - Trade Discussion Thread

True. Didn't think about Denver's wing situation besides Porter Jr., but he's obviously a mystery with the back injury. If you're looking for an idea, I don't think there's a star wing player that would be available. Tobias Harris would have been a great fit had he not been traded to Philly. I would say take a look at Taurean Prince from the Hawks. Good size at 6'8, really good shooter, and is decent at creating off the dribble. There were reports that Atlanta was looking to move him earlier this year, so I think he could be a pretty realistic target. As far as Butler, if you're going by real-life scenarios, I don't think he'd fit well with Denver's system and culture. I feel like it'd be the Minnesota situation all over again, but with Jokic and Murray.

I think Prince is likely to go somewhere before the next deadline and there are plenty of teams who would have him.

I don't think Butler would work well on Denver either, it was just a thought that popped into my head whilst typing another reply. As the other pater said, Paul George would be the perfect star player for them.

What do you think Prince value on the market is? What will Atlanta try to get in exchange? I would personally try to add a defensive specialist with experience to help the young guy develop, preferably a wing but even a center to replace Dedmon if he leaves would be great. I have a feeling that Atlanta will move him depending on who they draft and who they get in free agency.
For example if they draft Culver and Hunter, and Dedmon leaves during free agency they should try to get a veteran center to play next to Collins and provide rim protection.

While we're talking about players that could leave depending on free agency: if Kemba leaves and Charlotte decides to rebuild which team could trade for Cody Zeller? I feel like he's an underrated player that would do really well in most teams but I can't come up with a decent trade scenario.

I don't think Prince would be worth that much tbh. I think Atlanta would mainly look for a first round pick for him and would look to draft a forward to replace him like you mentioned. Derrick Favors could be a good option for a center to replace Dedmon as Favors doesn't really make sense next to Gobert anymore. They could do a deal with Utah centered around Prince and Favors and go from there. I think a good defensive wing option in free agency could be Danny Green. I know he said he wants to stay in Toronto, but Atlanta could possibly offer him a good amount of money for 1 year to lure him away. He would really help out their young guys imo.

Finding a trade for Prince is tricky he has a low salary and is still in his prime. So you could trade him to any team and make the math work. I do think Atlanta trades him this offseason as he doesn't really fit in on offense and has got worse on defense. I think a semi decent young player plus a 1st with some protections on it to a playoff team like Thunder, 76ers etc makes sense. In 2k a lot of that will come from what Atlanta does with those 1st round picks.

I was reading that the Spurs will probably try to get him in the offseason. How you like Prince+Plumlee for Mills+1st rounder lottery protected+2nd rounder? Spurs would add shooting and take on Plumlee's expiring contract while the Hakws get a 1st rounder and absorb Mills contract, which wouldn't damage their cap situation that much, despite being a bad contract. Also Mills role would be very limited with White and Murray getting most of the minutes, so it would make sense for the Spurs to find a better spot for him. Atlanta could really use his experience to help the young guys and give him decent playing time off the bench.

If your going off what the real life hawks would do they refuse to take on long term $ to gain draft picks. This past year they choose Jeremy Lin over getting a 1st round pick to take on expiring contract for Faried.

Mills (I assume) is a better player then Plumlee so he could atleast see 12 minutes a game as the backup PG where Plumlee can't. For me that trade is close enough and would make sense for both teams. The Spurs pick could be 20ish and land a solid prospect. Atlanta also don't have to worry about Princes new contract.

Wasn't Faried contract expiring at the end of the year just like Lin? I would prefer to keep it as close as possible to real life.

Yes Lin and Faried both had expiring deals Lin had a 2nd round pick attached to it (7 years in the future) and Faired had Denver's 1st (nets ended up with this). I suppose the GM thought Lin's contract was a positive where Faried was considered a negative so that outweighed getting the 1st round pick. The GM basically doesn't have a long-term plan as he says one thing and then his actions are different. The only long term bad $ he has took on was in the Howard / Plumlee trade and in that deal Atlanta got the worse player, worse contract and worse draft pick.

I would personally do that trade as Mills solves the backup PG role for next year. Its not one that I see Atlanta doing in real life. He would prob remove Plumlee / Mills and rearrange the draft picks somehow.

Re: NBA 2K19 - Trade Discussion Thread

Does anybody have any good trade ideas for the Lakers in the first season?.

Current roster:
PG's: Lonzo, Rondo, Caruso
SG's: Hart, KCP, Bullock
SF's: Lebron, Ingram, Stephenson, Vince Carter
PF's: Kuzma, Muscala
C's: Chandler, McGee, Wagner

I want to surround Lebron with catch-and-shoot roleplayers, along with some defenders. In other word, fully embrace "The Lebron James System"

I'll keep Kuzma and McGee. Kuz is a great second scoring option this season, and can also be a valuable piece moving forward as he can play off-ball too. McGee is just a low-usage shotblocker and dunker which every team can use...

I have a trade in mind for Mike Conley in the off-season involving Ingram and Lonzo. Conley would be a great second option and additional ball handler who defends and produces off the ball too. Could that trade work, and how much should I be willing to give up for him?

In free agency, I'm thinking of picking up a wing/forward like Middleton or Tobias Harris, who can catch-and-shoot, but also get buckets on their own.

Lonzo, Rondo, Ingram and Stephenson are kind of useless on Lebrons team as they can't play off-ball very well. Tyson Chandler is too old... I'm not opposed to keeping Rondo, as he provides a veteran presence and can be the point guard off the bench, but I don't mind trading him either.

Hart, KCP, Bullock, Muscala, VC and Wagner are all good fits, but none of them are good enough to be untouchable obviously. But they all fit well in the system I want to run, so I'd prefer keeping them.

I think Anthony Davis is going to end up in Boston, and I don't see any of the Premier free agents signing with the Lakers, so I could see them trading for a max player this offseason.

In my MyLeague, I traded Ingram and two lottery protected firsts to Washington for Bradley Beal.

Beal would fit really nicely in the system you described, as well as being able to run a second unit when LeBron is on the bench. The Wizards are in a pretty disastrous position, especially with the John Wall situation, and aren't going to be in a position to build around Beal any time soon. I think they'd jump at the chance to get a potential star, as well as two additional draft picks in the next couple of seasons.

More of an off season trade than an in season one, but that's something that I think makes sense all round.

Re: NBA 2K19 - Trade Discussion Thread

typically Lonzo develops into a star in 2k and Ingram (high 80's) is all star type talent as well so I wouldn't trade both of them for Conley. I might look at Beal

I love that, Beal is really the perfect fit! And, as you mentioned, it makes sense for both teams.

No matter how good Lonzo becomes, age wise he doesn't fit the timeline and his qualities doesn't mesh with Lebrons. Same goes for Ingram. The reason I think the Conley trade makes sense is that the Lakers get win-now production in Conley, that they need, and that the Grizzlies get two future stars to build around along with Jaren Jackson Jr that they already have. Grizzlies are rebuilding, Lakers want to contend now.

However, I like the Beal trade too... It probably can't be done due to the cap, but maybe trading Ingram and picks for Beal, and Lonzo plus picks for Conley... It still makes sense for all teams I think, and a lineup of Conley, Beal, Lebron, Kuz, McGee, Hart, Muscala, Wagner, Bullock, KCP, Rondo and Vince Carter (if he doesn't retire) is definitely a contender!

Re: NBA 2K19 - Trade Discussion Thread

Agree with what Mackrel said about Beal. As far as shooters, I think E'Twaun Moore, Terrence Ross, or Tauren Prince could be great options and are realistic targets imo. All three can be spot up shooters, but can also create a bit off the dribble and are on relatively cheap contracts. For defenders, you could look at Ariza, Thabo Sefalosha, and Garrett Temple. They are all really solid defenders who can also hit the three as well.

Really good shouts! Ariza, Thabo, Ross and Moore are exactly the kind of experienced spot up shooter who I think would thrive with Lebron, and make him better as well!
