NBA 2K19 - Trade Discussion Thread

[FadeawayJay]

Re: NBA 2K19 - Trade Discussion Thread

Two games in to my first season with the Lakers, I've made these trades:

- KCP, the 2020 and 2021 2nd round pick for E'Twuan Moore
- Vince Carter, the 2020 1st round pick and the 2023rd second round pick
- Tyson Chandler and the 2022 2nd round pick for Dewayne Dedmon

The first trade makes good sense. AD is probably gone, so the Pelicans will value any pick they can get. And this being 2K, if AD stays, KCP isn't too much of a downgrade, and can do more on his own than Moore.

The second trade is a win-win. The Wizards are not winning anything with Wall and Beal, and they get great value with these picks. Obviously, VC for Green is a downgrade for them, but the picks make up for it IMO.

The third trade is insignificant for the Hawks. Dedmon is obviously a better piece for the next few years for them, but he doesn't really fit their timeline either, and is an expiring deal as well. The 2nd round pick makes it a plus for them, and Tyson Chandlers bad contract is off the books next season already.

I really wanted to get a good backup small forward like Ariza, Sefolosha or Terrence Ross, but I felt like those trades were impossible to make without involving Ingram, and I kind of want to save him for the blockbuster trade for either Mike Conley or Bradley Beal.

And, that trade can actually be done now!

- Lonzo Ball, Rajon Rondo, Brandon Ingram, the 2022 1st round pick and the 2023 1st round pick for Mike Conley, Dillon Brooks and Jevon Carter.

The Grizzlies now have a young trio to start their rebuild with in Jaren Jackson Jr, Brandon Ingram and Lonzo Ball (and they kind of compliment each other), and the Lakers get a great point guard, who can produce both on and off the ball, a young 3&D player in Dillon Brooks, and a decent back up point guard in Jevon Carter.

We gave up nearly all of the franchises future (we still have the 2019 and 2020 1st round picks, which can come in pretty handy), but when you have Lebron late in his peak, you have to bet it all. This team at least gives Lebron a chance of contending in his first season in LA!

PG's: Mike Conley, Jevon Carter, Alex Caruso
SG's: E'Twuan Moore, Josh Hart, Reggie Bullock
SF's: Lebron James, Lance Stephenson, Dillon Brooks
PF's: Kyle Kuzma, Jeff Green, Mike Muscala
C's: JaVale McGee, Dewayne Dedmon, Moritz Wagner

Bronny and Conley makes for an experienced and deadly duo, Kuz, Moore, Green, Hart, Bullock, Muscala and Carter are all great catch-and-shoot guys, JaVale is a great shotblocker and dunker, and Dedmon and Wagner can provide big frames off the bench, with a little bit of shooting sprinkled on top.

Dedmon is a perfect fit with his ability to stretch the floor.
In the future I would trade Hart and Lance for a defensive guard who can play minutes at both guard positions. Your defense will pretty much be a abused by teams that rely on pick n rolls with Moore, Lebron and Kuzma on the floor at the same time, so you'll need someone to step in. Atm I can't think of any name except for Beverley but he is not a realistic target if you want to keep it realistic.

Re: NBA 2K19 - Trade Discussion Thread

So after the draft lottery this is the top 5 order:
1. Knicks
2. Hawks
3. Cavaliers
4. Suns
5. Grizzlies

I'm using the Hawks and I want to trade down, what scenarios do you see happening?
I would say either the Suns trade up to get Morant or the Grizzlies trade up to get Barrett. I don't think the Cavs would trade up cause either way they're going with the best player available regardless of fit.

My problem is, I can't really understand what a 2nd overall might be worth in this draft and what Phoenix and Memphis have to offer to me.

The best trades I could come up with are:
1. Suns get: Hawks pick; Hawks get: Suns pick+2020 1st rounder (top 3 protected)
2. Suns get: Hawks pick+Bazemore; Hawks get: Suns pick+Jackson+2020 1st rounder (top 5 protected)
3. Grizzlies get: Hawks pick+Prince; Hawks get: Grizzlies pick+2020 1st rounder (top 5 protected)+2021(lottery protected)

In this scenario, I think the Suns trading up makes the most sense. I think they would do that in real life if this was the actual draft order as Morant is just the perfect fit for them. Your second trade scenario looks pretty good. I'll try to think of some other ones and will post them later if I do.

If your in year 1 and suns still need a PG then them trading up for JA makes the most sense.

If you wanted to have the Suns keep Jackson not sure what his ratings are, but in mine he is currently now a 89 overall after a few years. Atlanta could give up Plumlee who is owed less $ and a useless player. Baz can easily be moved in another deal if you don't need him even if its for a 2nd round pick and a expiring deal. The first option would be the easiest and Atlanta do that in real life.

2nd pick, Plumlee
4th pick, 1st rounder, maybe throw in a 2nd rounder

Re: NBA 2K19 - Trade Discussion Thread

I'm actually going to disagree with the other posters so far. I don't think that the Suns trading up makes sense in that particular scenario.

I agree that Morant is the perfect fit for them, but no one above them is taking a PG. The Knicks would obviously take Zion, the Hawks have Trae Young so also wouldn't take a PG at 2, the Cavs have Sexton so probably wouldnt take him either. There's a good chance Morant would still be there at 4 if the order remained as is.

With that being said, I think the Grizzlies make the most sense to want to move up to 2 and grab either Morant or Barrett, and I think there's enough chance that they would take Morant to force the Suns to trade to prevent that from happening.

So I guess I'd look at both the Suns and the Grizzlies, and work out who can put together the most appealing trade package for you, and go with that. That probably would be the Suns with their abundance of wings and the higher pick so I suppose ultimately I don't disagree with the other posters at all!

Imo if the Hawks keep the 2nd pick they draft RJ, and if that happens the Cavs can't afford to draft a player with fit in mind as they currently have zero talent on the roster, so they would go with the best player available regardless, which happens to be Morant.
This is a weak class and they desperately need scoring, talent and star potential as Sexton ceiling doesn't look as high as many thought it would be. He isn't good enough to pass on Morant with a 3rd pick in my eyes.
Also, as you said, if the Suns don't trade up Memphis probably will offer something to the Hawks. It's an intriguing scenario, the Suns could also keep the fourth hoping nobody drafts Morant, and if that happens they might take a risk on Garland.
Another team that would probably trade up if the Suns don't is the Bulls. They currently own the 7th pick.

I would actually love to take a chance on Jackson but the Suns probably wouldn't take on Baz contract in real life, and overall I don't think either the Hawks or the Suns would be interested in moving those two players on draft night.
Probably as you said the first trade is the most realistic and the one that makes the most sense.

Re: NBA 2K19 - Trade Discussion Thread

In this scenario, the Knicks would take Zion, Atlanta would take RJ, Cleveland would probably take Morant, leaving Phoenix to take Darius Garland and Memphis to take Culver/Reddish/Hunter.

If Atlanta trades that #2 pick away, the 2nd pick they would get back would be no more than Top 5 protected, imo. Makes me think of the Fultz/Tatum trade. Phoenix is the only team in that group that has an absolute need at that position AND has enough organizational dysfunction to make a gamble of a trade. Tyler Johnson's contract screws them up too (he has a player option for $19M this off-season, crazy).

If Phoenix moves up to take Morant, Cleveland can take RJ, Atlanta can take Culver/Reddish/Hunter (probably Reddish, as they would want to see Prince either get better or be comfortable letting him go), and Memphis can take Garland.

As for the trade itself, I think it would just be:

Atlanta sends: 2019 1st round pick (#2)
Phoenix sends: 2019 1st round pick (#4), 2021 1st round pick, Top 5 protected (aka Future 1st Round Pick)

Re: NBA 2K19 - Trade Discussion Thread

Just started a Memphis Grizzlies MyLeague with "start from today" and ran the draft in which our pick got conveyed to the Celtics. That means we went into the 2019-2020 season with basically the same roster intact except we were able to add Terry Rozier for two years. We have started the season 0-3 and it doesn't look good at all. With Mike Conley expiring, I feel like it may be time to cash in on him to make sure we get something in return for him to help us rebuild and allow him to play meaningful basketball.

Where do you think I should send him (assume the rosters are pretty close to what they are currently in the NBA) and what kind of a return do you think I should ask for?

With Conley age I think your looking at a playoff team

Jazz - A deal around Rubio (rumored in real life)

Heat - depending on their team success and how dragic is doing they got lots of bad contracts

Spurs - If they are in the playoff race

Thunder - a deal around Schroder + 1st

Re: NBA 2K19 - Trade Discussion Thread

So i'm using the Timberwolves, with the updated rosters but at the 1st day of the 1st season, and i wanna get some recommendations and tips...

1. I'm trying to get Anthony Tolliver and Jerryd Bayless off the books, and the Clippers hit me up with this offer :

Timberwolves get : Landry Shamet, Ivica Zubac, 2019 2nd Round TrailBlazers, 2020 2nd Round Clippers, 2023 1st Round Clippers Unprotected, and 2021 2nd Round Pistons
Clippers get : Jerryd Bayless, Anthony Tolliver, Derrick Rose, 2022 Timberwolves 1st Round Unprotected

Is this a fair trade?

2. If the above deal is made, is Jeff Teague and Tyus Jones enough to be my Point Guard rotation? Any recommendations on who i could get?

3. I also need a starting Shooting Guard, who'd be realistically obtainable?

4. Should i give up on Andrew Wiggins? I feel like he could get me something decent, plus i have Robert Covington to replace him and Luol Deng as backup, not to mention Keita Bates-Diop as a promising rookie

5. Should i get another PF to cover Taj Gibson and Dario Saric in case Tolliver does get traded? Who could i get? Also, i only have 2 Centers but Towns is one of them, Gorgui Dieng is solid but should i get another one? If so, who?

My players :
Karl Anthony-Towns
Derrick Rose
Andrew Wiggins
Robert Covington
Taj Gibson
Jeff Teague
Dario Saric
Gorgui Dieng
Luol Deng
Tyus Jones
Anthony Tolliver
Josh Okogie
Keita Bates-Diop
C.J. Williams (two-way)
Jerryd Bayless
Cameron Reynolds
Jared Terrell (two-way)

2019 2nd Rnd Heat
2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 1st and 2nd Timberwolves
2022 2nd Rnd Nuggets, Swap Best with 76ers

Appreciate the input!

Re: NBA 2K19 - Trade Discussion Thread

Conley to Detroit
Jackson Leur first pick 2019 to Memphis

That's an interesting one. I'm actually looking to move Conley myself and wonder if a Jackson, Leur and a DET 1st would get that deal done.

----------

As the Grizzlies, I'm probably going to try to move on from Jonas Valanciunas and potentially shift Jaren Jackson Jr. to the center position full time. What should I look to move Valanciunas for considering he's an expiring?
