Re: NBA 2K22 MyNBA Trade Discussion Thread

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

I ran this through the ESPN trade machine and the first would probably be necessary according to that. Turner actually has the highest PER with Ingram close behind, but LeVerts is much higher than Sato's.

Pacers get:
Ingram - 18.2 PER
Satoransky - 6.2 PER
Total: 24.4 PER

Pelicans get:
Turner - 19.3 PER
LeVert - 16.4 PER
Total: 35.7

It has +1 wins for the Pels and -5 wins for the Pacers.

Re: NBA 2K22 MyNBA Trade Discussion Thread

Opps I think i forgot to finish my sentence on Levert. He isn't as good as Ingram and a little older. He will still be able to score 17 to 21 a game so he can replace Ingram in that department and i'm guessing a better defense rating. So your not getting the upside of Ingram, still he is a useful player for the next few years

The Pelicans have the Lakers 1st for next year and a Bucks pick in 2024 so all of those should be in the 20's for a smaller asset.

Re: NBA 2K22 MyNBA Trade Discussion Thread

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.

Analysis
The Kings get Simmons for Barnes, Bagley, Thompson, and three picks (two 1sts). Fox and Halliburton remain as franchise centerpieces. They take on spare parts expirings to make the money work for everyone.

Minnesota gets draft capital and flyers on Bagley and Sexton. They unload a jaded and tanking-value Dlo for some assets including a first from Philly. They can unleash Edwards as a playmaker for the remainder of the season and see what happens. Love returns to Minnesota and becomes a buyout candidate, perhaps next season to avoid the trouble of a multi-year buyout.

Philly gets Harrison Barnes and D'Angelo Russell, two very solid offensive talents that can help make a short-term playoff push. 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. They'll pay a first this season (to Minny) for the flexibility that comes with moving Harris, as well as getting under the luxury tax for a disappointing season that sees them towards the bottom of the East playoff picture at the All-Star break.

Cleveland turns Love, Sexton, and Rubio into pieces that can buttress a quickly-ascending core. They are willing to take on Harris, as their cap situation/core is pretty locked for the next two years until Garland's extension comes (at which point Harris is a wonderful trade piece as an expiring deal).

San Antonio moves Derrick White for the expiring Rubio, B-Ball Paul, cap filler, and picks. White's contract could become an albatross, given he is 27 and this season has indicated 2020-21 may have been his peak.

Who says no? Still not convinced that Minny would move Dlo or that Philly would move Simmons for this package, but they do buy future flexibility and sneak under the tax (which will make ownership very happy). San Antonio might find more for White elsewhere?

Re: NBA 2K22 MyNBA Trade Discussion Thread

I'm officially spamming the thread with Pacers rebuild trades now. Sorry not sorry!

I've narrowed a Turner+LeVert deal down to a couple of options that I like and I'm now looking at some lesser deals for Warren and Lamb.

Mavericks get:
TJ Warren

Pacers get:
Dwight Powell
2026 1st

Pacers get a big man to back up Sabonis and get a distant future first for taking on his money. The Mavs get a quality wing who can play the 3 but can also play the 4 when KP is at the 5. They also get this bird rights so can resign him in the off-season, probably for a very reasonable price.

Grizzlies get:
Jeremy Lamb

Pacers get:
Sam Merrill
2022 1st via Lakers

Pacers get a throwaway prospect to kick the tyres on and a very late first. Grizzlies get a decent scorer to come off the bench to supplement their wealth of young talent. They also get bird rights so can also resign him for a reasonable price in the off-season.

What's the verdict in each of these?

[georgiafan]

Re: NBA 2K22 MyNBA Trade Discussion Thread

Your in luck as I’ve spent a ridiculous amount of time looking at pacers trades lol

Lamb isnt worth a 1st round pick. Even if a team has a expiring contract they are probably better ways to spend it then on him. I’ve yet to come up with a team That would give up a asset for him and would make sense. The exception being if it’s salary dump type trade and your putting something else with him. Maybe a team like the Bucks they have some mid size salary and always in the championship hunt.

Even though Memphis has all those picks they also have a lot of depth. They are better off just going into the offseason using a bunch of assets for a star type player. They have Ja, bane, Jones, brooks, Konchar, melton so they have bodies at the 2 guard spot.

Warrens value I’m torn on since on mine he is hurt and going to be a FA. The Dallas fit is probably my favorite as well as they need a wing. They have so few young assets picks I just don’t know if he moved the needle enough to trade a 1st for. They don’t seem to be legit title contenders in 2k year 1. It does make sense to include Powell as he is under contract for 1 more year.

Maybe take out the 1st and make it a 2nd and Josh Green ?

Re: NBA 2K22 MyNBA Trade Discussion Thread

I'm at the 21/22 Trade Deadline in my MyNBA with the Celtics and I made these trades:

Trade 1: Philly and Portland

Spoiler

Simmons, Milton, and Petrusev to POR for McCollum, Covington, 23 1st (or possibly 27 if 23 isn't available due to the Stepien rule) and 25 1st Top 5 Protected)

I know a variation this trade has been discussed to death but Philly didn't have a ton of options for Ben and it was either make a deal that can help now and in the future or waste a year of Embiid. Not to mention, they got to keep both of the coveted youngsters (Maxey and Thuybulle) as well.

Portland can see what Ben and Dame looks like together and if it doesn't work, then try to recoup picks by trading one or the other

Trade 2: Sacramento, New York, and Charlotte

Spoiler

SAC Sends - Fox, Davis, Metu, 22 2nd
SAC Receives - Oubre, Bouknight, Augustin, 22 1st Top 5 protected and 23 1st from Dallas

Sending out Fox opens up the guard positions to Haliburton and Mitchell, and Oubre will fit nicely alongside them. They dump a ton of salary and get two 1st to play with

NYK Sends - Fournier, Walker, Robinson, 22 1st Top 5 protected and 23 1st from Dallas
NYK Receives - Fox, Davis, Metu, 22 2nd

NYK gets Fox who should strive in New York with Randle and some of the younger players and also get rid of two of their older players who needed to go in order to make room for some of their youngsters. Mitchell and the picks were price they had to pay but if the picks aren't that great then this could be a nice deal for them.

CHA Sends - Oubre, Bouknight, and Augustin
CHA Receives Fournier, Walker, and Robinson

The Hornets bring back a fan favorite and get their center of the future. Oubre, Bouknight was a steep price but now they may just be the deepest team in the East.

Trade 3: LA Lakers and Orlando

Spoiler

LA sends Nunn, Reaves, Bazemore, and a 24 2nd to Orlando for Ross and Mo Wagner

Orlando is going young and was ready to move Ross to the highest bidder. They want to take a flyer on Nunn and Reaves and will cut Bazemore. The Lakers needed a spark plug off of the bench and who is better for that than the Human Torch? They also bring back Wagner who will compete with Jordan for the 3rd center role.

Trade 4: Detriot, Dallas and Boston

Spoiler

DET Sends - Grant, McGruder, Livers, Garza
DET Receives - Hardaway, Josh Green, 26 1st Unprotected, Nesmith

Detriot gets a haul of young players and a future 1st for Grant. They're tanking and trying to build around Cade so adding Hardaway, plus two young wings should help with that in the short and long term (if either or both pan out).

DAL Sends - Hardaway, Josh Green, 26 1st Unprotected, and Kleber
DAL Receives - Grant, McGruder, Livers, and Hernangomez

Dallas wanted to add defense and Grant fits the bill. They gave up quite a bit to get him and they're a bit top-heavy now but, if healthy, they will be a very tough out in the West.

BOS Sends - Nesmith and Hernangomez
BOS Receives - Kleber and Garza

Boston fit like they had to make a decision between Nesmith and Langford because there weren't enough minutes for the both of them so they gave Nesmith up in a deal that brings in a multi-dimensional big who could end up being insurance in case Horford gets dealt or released next off-season.

What do yall think? Love 'em, hate 'em? Do I need to add anything else here to there?

[georgiafan]

Re: NBA 2K22 MyNBA Trade Discussion Thread

I think Portland should give up some more for Ben. Because CJ’s contract is also big and he is starting to get older and isn’t a all star. Covington is a good piece for philly, but In 2k never seems to be a difference maker.

That’s a good rebuilding trade for the kings with all those guards. I might pair that with them trading some of their other vets at the deadline. Even people like Len and harkless to a playoff team.

Grant seems like he is in high demand in real life. From the 2k side I’m worried neither of the wings Detroit gets will develop. I know on my roster( atd) they are both rated low. The pick being so far out want help for a while so it’s possible Detroit doesn’t get much to show for grant. I view THJ as a negative contract maybe I’m wrong.

NBA 2K22 MyNBA Trade Discussion Thread

Looking for thoughts on how to balance this trade with picks. I’m the Blazers and looking to move Nurkic. Toronto needs a center and it’s also a chance to free Dragic. I feel like Nurkic is worth more than I’m getting now and Toronto needs to give up more, but I also think adding a protected 1st from Toronto to Portland might be a bit too much. Thoughts on how to balance this out with only picks as the additional pieces? Maybe a 2nd to Portland and a 2nd to Dallas? I like the base of the trade and think it’s pretty realistic.

Blazers send: Nurkic

I don’t think nurkic is worth a 1st to for Toronto as he is on a expiring deal and a veteran. They are a fringe playoff team so should be able to sign him in the offseason since they have $ to spend.


They also don’t have many young guys to sweeten it outside of maybe a Flynn.

Re: NBA 2K22 MyNBA Trade Discussion Thread

Have a three team trade between SAC, DET, and OKC.

DET trades: Jerami Grant, Rodney McGruder, 2024 2nd from SAC
DET gets: Marvin Bagley, Kenrick Williams, 2024 2nd from CHA

-The Pistons get another young prospect to pair with Cade, and will have a few months to evaluate Bagley prior to FA (he will be a RFA but with the trade, the Pistons will now have his bird rights). Kenrich Williams is a throw in from OKC just to provide some outside shooting, something this team desperately needs.

SAC trades: Marvin Bagley, Tristian Thompson, 2023 1st round (Top 10 protected)
SAC gets: Jerami Grant, Rodney McGruder

-The Kings are currently in 10th in the west, but only 1 game out of 8th and 2.5 games out of 7th. Everyone knows how badly the Kings want a playoff birth, this trade gives them an instant upgrade at PF and a chance to salvage a less than stellar 1st round pick in Bagley.

OKC trades: 2024 2nd from CHA, Kenrich Williams
OKC gets: Tristian Thompson, 2023 1st round from SAC (Top 10 protected), 2024 2nd from SAC

-OKC is here as a space for the Kings to dump salary. The Thunder are receiving another first round pick to add to their endless library of future draft assets as payment for taking on Tristian Thompson's contract.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Re: NBA 2K22 MyNBA Trade Discussion Thread

Sacremento - it lines up to me

Detroit - It's so hard to gauge Bagley's trade value since he owed a new contract. Grant seems like the kind of guy who is more valuable in real life then 2K. Where Bagley kind of the opposite. My initial thought was Detroit might need to get a little more. What kind of stats are Grant putting up and where is MB potential at ?

If you're also controlling every team I would like for another team to dump the pick to then OKC. They have so many drafts pick if you're going to do a few seasons it makes in incredible annoying. Since Thompson is a expiring I think they might be getting a little to much.

Grant is currently averaging 19.4pts/4.8reb/2.3assist/.8 steals/1.2 blocks on 43%/34%/87% shooting.

Bagley is 5 years younger, 2K has his potential is a B-.

You are definitely correct, Grant has way more perceived value in real life compared to 2K, so it's difficult to judge his trade value.

[georgiafan]

Re: NBA 2K22 MyNBA Trade Discussion Thread

A B- potential is low so that likely only allows him limited room to grow. I know they removed the offseason program where you could easily up someone's potential. I've not looked maybe you could improve that with the in-season training.

I don't really like that deal for Detroit which I'm guessing is who you are. Grant while probably more valuable in real life I still think he is worth more then this. He can play the 3/4, defend and score 15 to 20 a night. He is also locked up for next year. If I'm Detroit I would rather just have a expiring contract, future 1st round pick and another solid young prospect. Then I can just go just go slightly overpay Bagley this summer if need be.
