NBA 2K22 MyNBA Trade Discussion Thread

Re: NBA 2K22 MyNBA Trade Discussion Thread

I don't know where he would go, but I wouldn't send him to the Cavs. They already have a really, really good bigman rotation and there's no fit for Turner there. Who would he displace? Allen/Markkanen/Mobley are all players they should keep for the future of the team.

Maybe he can fit in Charlotte

I saw a mock trade sending him to Charlotte for PJ Washington. Would this be realistic? I've barely followed the NBA for like a season and a half now. I know Washington was highly rated when he was drafted but what's his value like now? The Pacers were also interested in Hayward before he signed for Charlotte. Would they send him back?

Edit: How do these two trades look?

Hornets get: Myles Turner
Pacers get: PJ Washington, Kelly Oubre Jr, Future1st

Cavs get: Caris LeVert
Pacers get: Isaac Okoro, Cedi Osman, 2023 1st

Re: NBA 2K22 MyNBA Trade Discussion Thread

Pacers have basically said they're going to rebuild/retool and trade pieces.



Myles Turner seems more likely to go than Sabonis so where could he end up and who could the Pavers get in return?



Sexton or Garland from the Cavs?

Hornet, Warriors and Wolves are fits for Turner. The Beasley salary for the wolves would match and it would allow KAT to play some 4.

Re: NBA 2K22 MyNBA Trade Discussion Thread

If your going for realistic then Schroeder wouldn’t want to come back to Atlanta and be a backup. Cam is the most likely to be traded of the young guys since he hasn’t got paid yet. If Atlanta is needing to be sellers then Gallo could be moved as the final year of his contract is only 5 million guaranteed. Bogdan I would say is more likable to be moved then Huerter since he is a few years older. Lou is expandable so his loss isn’t a issue as Wright can get his minutes.

Good point! I think Dennis is a high quality backup for wherever he is going to play. I think Atlanta does have a bit of a logjam at some spots. Reddish having a bunch of upside is what had me not wanting to go after him but I have heard he could be had in the right trade.

Certainly not Garland as he has made a huge leap. I dont think the Cavs have a real need for Sabonis right now. Obviously Love isnt a long term answer and Lauri isnt locked up long term BUT I dont see the Cavs as a fit.

Re: NBA 2K22 MyNBA Trade Discussion Thread

Atlanta is in rough spot because they aren't legit contenders, but with their depth need to be sellers before they are buyers. Down the line you could make a trade with a bunch of people for a bigger name that star isn't out there for year 1.

The asking price for Cam is rumored to be a legit 1st round pick. Atlanta wouldn't just give him away since the luxury tax isn't a issue right now. Since I'm a hawks fan I've got a lot of ideals on what I would do with them.

None of the Pacers big would make sense for the Cavs. Levert is the main name that makes sense for them and you could package one their wings Holiday/ Lamb with him.

It comes down to if you would want Pacers to get Sexton or Love. Sexton makes sense as is hurt and overall lines up with Levert. However he will be need be paid this summer 20 million per year. Attaching picks with Love and is more of a all in move as that mean Cleveland paying Sexton/


Cavs Get - Levert, Holiday
Pacers Get - Sexton, Osmon

Pacers Get - Love, 1st round pick, probably more
Cavs Get - Levert, Lamb

Certainly not Garland as he has made a huge leap. I dont think the Cavs have a real need for Sabonis right now. Obviously Love isnt a long term answer and Lauri isnt locked up long term BUT I dont see the Cavs as a fit.

Re: NBA 2K22 MyNBA Trade Discussion Thread

As with OP's first post, I'm Sacramento and I'm trying to angle for Ben Simmons. Unlike most, however, I would rather make the centerpiece of our end Harrison Barnes rather than Hield (I know it's not particularly realistic for Sacto to keep Hield at this point, but it's my preference).

At the deadline the Sixers are 8th in the East due to some inconsistent play and bad injury luck, so Morey might be willing to pull the trigger on a package of fringe all-stars in order to make a push for the playoffs (without sacrificing the future).

KAT tore his achilles early in the season and Anthony Edwards has been out for over a month. D'Angelo Russell has been playing terribly and his morale is even lower. Thus, Minny is in awful shape and might be open to offloading more win-now pieces for expirings and assets. With Sachin Gupta and Monte McNair both Morey FO alums, I thought a three team trade between the Kings, Timberwolves, and Sixers could be feasible.

SAC receives: Ben Simmons

MIN receives: Marvin Bagley III, Danny Green, picks TBD

PHI receives: Harrison Barnes, D'Angelo Russell, 2023 SAC 1st rounder (Top 5 prot), 2025 SAC 1st (unprotected)

Analysis
The Kings get Simmons for Barnes, Bagley, and a bevy of picks. Fox and Halliburton remain as franchise centerpieces. They offload Bagley at long last, to a situation where he will get heavy run through the end of the season and have a chance to stick around in Minny.

Minnesota gets draft capital and takes a flyer on Bagley. They unload a jaded and tanking-value Dlo for some assets. They can unleash Edwards as a playmaker for the remainder of the season and see what happens. Danny Green is an instant buyout candidate.

Philly gets Harrison Barnes, a very solid scorer having a career year from 3 (and no slouch on D) and D'Angelo Russell, another All-Star level offensive talent. Both Barnes and Russell have expiring contracts at the end of next season, making it possible for Morey to wheel and deal at the next deadline with those big cap numbers and the picks he got from this trade if it doesn't work out.

Does this trade seem feasible? Minny might be unwilling to part with Russell given his friendship with KAT, which is my biggest hangup to going through with it. Plus, is it a good enough package for a desperate Philly? Maybe a fourth team could provide some more assets to make them whole (a contender with a need for Danny Green)?

Well clearly you have thought this out and trying to make it right. Here are my quick thoughts

For Minn I like the move assuming the draft picks has atleast one 1st which I guess would come from philly. It sounds like they are going to miss they playoffs so this allows them to add a lottery pick of their own. Then be buyers this offseason with a clean salary sheet and extra draft picks.

Ben’s trade value is kinda tricky I’m higher on him then most people. In 2k sims he doesn’t put huge stats still will flirt with a triple double and be all defensive team. He is a real asset on a user controlled team and can play 3 to 4 positions. I think the kings need to be giving up a little more here or taking on a worse contract.

I don’t really like it for the 76ers since they are the 8th seed and Barnes won’t be good enough to move the needle. I think the fit of dlo makes sense and they can trade him down the line if need be. Harris and Barnes are two similar of players for me.

What about 76ers moving Harris to another team and philly can use this as retool year ? Barnes slides into the starting 4 spot. Harris is a solid enough player one of the bad teams could use him as a vet sending off bad salary like the rockets, cavs, clippers. Heck maybe even get Harris to Sac?

True - Barnes and Harris have very similar skillsets, meaning Harris would likely go if Barnes came in. Plus I think you can justify Philly losing a 2022 first to Minny if the trade gets them out of the Harris contract. Harris' contract is too much to navigate cap-wise for Sac, but perhaps a rebuilding team would facilitate if compensated with capital/other assets. Back to the lab!

Re: NBA 2K22 MyNBA Trade Discussion Thread

What is the likelihood that the Pelicans would trade Brandon Ingram for Myles Turner? Turner would be the perfect for next to Zion, and the Pacers get a high upside former All Star for their rebuild.

What's Ingram's status with the Pelicans right now? Are they likely to be looking to move on from him? Which side would need to add in other assets to get it done?

I've not seen how Bagley develops in 2K and with him being a FA its hard to gauge his trade value. Minnesota should be able to sign him for a 10-15 per year on a short term deal so that would help.

Yea I think if you find a way for Philly to move off Harris then It makes sense for me. He is owed 37 and 39 million the next two years so its a big contract. I would look for a team that has larger contracts for worse players then Harris. Also a team that needs draft picks so you could build a package around the following.

Clippers - Morris and Kennard

Wizards - Bertans

Rockets - Wall or Gordon / Augustine / Theus

Cavs - Love (expires a year sooner)

Mavs - Porzinigis or THJ / Bullock (needs the draft pick)

Spurs - White / Young / Collins (they need size)

Lakers - Westbrook

I personally think the LeVert deal is a massive overpay by Cleveland. LeVert has not been playing well, so getting a high-upside second-year wing plus a pick is a lot. I would say maybe one of those two, but for Cleveland, I’m not sure why I’d give up future assets for a guy that doesn’t move the needle. Also, is LeVert that much better that Osman? In my book I don’t think so.

Re: NBA 2K22 MyNBA Trade Discussion Thread

I wrote a article on my pacers dynasty about Myles trade packages(see link bleow) and someone replied to it saying they would like to see a Ingram for Turner swap. I do think long term Zion and Ingram will not reach their full potential as 1st and 2nd options together. Like you said Zion and Turner are a great pairing and they would have Jonas and the young PF's off the bench.

Indiana would need to give up some other stuff to get Ingram. Who is more of a 2nd option where Turner is more of a 3rd/4th option quality role player. Adding Levert might be too much and Lamb/Warren not enough. I don't think i like the option of Indiana giving up a 1st as much since they are retooling/rebuilding and Pelicans have a lot of draft picks and young assets already.

Ingram, Sato, next years lakers 1st (or young player)
for
Turner, Levert

Ingram, Sato
for
Turner, Warren, 1st round pick

Re: NBA 2K22 MyNBA Trade Discussion Thread

I may be biased since I did a similar Levert trade to the Cavs which seemed fair to me. It seems like in real life he has been playing better of late I saw a tweet where he is averaging like 25 a game over the last 5 games.

In the sims I ran Levert put up really good stats in Cleveland averaging about 20 a game. In the roster I use his shoot tendency is 100 not sure if that's how it is on the default roster. Levert on my roster had a similar perimeter defense rating while scoring 10ish more points a game.

I saw a mock trade sending him to Charlotte for PJ Washington. Would this be realistic? I've barely followed the NBA for like a season and a half now. I know Washington was highly rated when he was drafted but what's his value like now? The Pacers were also interested in Hayward before he signed for Charlotte. Would they send him back?

I like this idea a lot, particularly the first option because the Pacers get a 1st in the deal too. Is that too much for the Pels to give up though, especially since they're probably giving up the best player in the deal too (I really rate Turner but Ingram is generally considered better is he not, at least in terms of upside?)

I guess Sato is just salary filler so Ingram and a first for two immediate starters isn't bad.

I was also thinking about the Raptors. They could do with a better two guard and have a hole at center. Siakam has taken a step back after getting his big contract so I think they could certainly look to move on from him. They also have some extra 1st round picks. It could look something like this:

Pacers get - Pascal Siakam
Raptors get - Myles Turner, Caris Levert

OR

Pacers get - Gary Trent Jr., 2023 1st
Raptors get - Myles Turner, Caris LeVert

Sato is needed for salary as he has a 10 million expiring deal. Hart's contract would also work, but I'm sure NO would rather keep him since he is younger and could be needed more with Ingram gone. NO doesn't need Sato so maybe it allows them to also get Holiday who is a 3&D wing.

Yea Ingram is the best player in the deal so maybe it would work without any picks involved now that I think of it. I'm not sure the details of Ingrams rating/badges and what roster your using. Levert clearly isnt as good as For the one I use

Ingram - 83 overall - 29 Million
Sato - 10 million

Levert - 79 overall - 17 Million
Turner - 80 overall - 18 million
Holiday - 76 overall - 6 Million

PG - Graham
SG - Levert
SF - Hart/ Holiday / NAW
PF - Zion
C - Turner

Bench - Lead by Jonas V and the young guys
