The Official Rate My Trade Thread

Re: The Official Rate My Trade Thread

Hi I'am from Germany and want to make a Associatian with the Timberwolves. I want to make some good trades to make the Team a little bit better but I do not know who I bring into the team who really fits into it. I think I would get off Brewer and maybe Pekovic, what do you think of a trade Brewer for O.J Mayo? And what sensible trades can you recommend me? Hope that some of you can help me with some good trade ideas.

Thanks

Sorry for the bad english

Brewer for Mayo isn't really realistic if you're going for realism. It's up to you, but I would include a 2012 first round pick and Brewer for Mayo. Also, you're English is great bud, many other people are much harder to understand, but I can understand you perfectly well. Good luck bud.

Re: The Official Rate My Trade Thread

I dont follow the NBA so I dont know if I am ripping somebody off. If it is bad is it a realistically bad trade that happens on occassion or is it just unthinkable?

Orlando (Me) give up:

C Marcin Gortat
C Daniel Orton

Oklahoma City gives up:

PF Jeff Green
11' First Round Pick

Thoughts? If it is too unrealistic I will do something like trade their first round pick back for a second.

Re: The Official Rate My Trade Thread

And then with Gortat gone, I needed a backup center. Bass is listed as a C too, but he is only 6'8" and Howard cant play 45 min a game. And I wasnt comfortable with Malik Allen gettin 12-15 min a game. So I did this:

Magic Give Up:

SG JJ Redick
PF Ryan Anderson
2011 Second Round Pick
2012 Second Round Pick

Blazers Give Up:

C Joel Przybilla
PF Jeff Pendergraph
2012 Second Round Pick

Re: The Official Rate My Trade Thread

First and second trades are realistic, but the third isn't. Mike Miller is pretty much untouchable on the Heat as he is their sixth man and he has a great relationship with LeBron and Haslem, it's all about chemistry and working together on their team and Mike Miller fits in perfectly, whereas Allan Iverson does not. I probably would have tried something else but hey it's all up to you, good trades overall buddy.

I agree. Originally I was gonna go after Korver instead but tried a "test" trade and autosave got me. Iverson kinda destroyed the Heat. They need Miller as a shooter. Iverson does not fit with that team at all. Only reason I traded him was to avoid a unhappy AI sitting on the bench.

But this is only my test run association. I restarted and am thinking about this move:
Wizards get:
Jason Terry, Brendan Haywood, 2011 1st

Mavericks get:
Gilbert Arenas, scrub to make the money work, 2012 2nd

Basically the same as last time just skipping the Okafor deal and Iverson signing.

The Thunder would probably want a little more for Jeff Green in real life, but this particular deal (getting Gortat from the Magic) is something I keep wishing the real Thunder would do.

Overall not entirely unrealistic, but very very unlikely and a bit one sided.

Re: The Official Rate My Trade Thread

You think I should give them their pick back and grab a second rounder instead? Would that be about right?

Nah, unless the Thunder get a great deal, Jeff Green probably won't be dealt. But it's all up to you, but as you said you wanted to know earlier, it is really out there as the Thunder try to trade very sparingly and make no big trades, they strictly build through the draft as you've seen this past 4 or 5 years. Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, Jeff Green, Cole Aldrich, James Harden, Eric Maynor, Thabo Sefolosha, and probably some others I'm forgetting have developed or are developing learning their system and only their system. It's a great strategy. Myself, I would feel too guilty messing with their team, lol.

Re: The Official Rate My Trade Thread

Is nobody here, who can still make me another few realistic trade ideas for my Timberwolves? I do not know myself unfortunately so well out and here are enough people who knows very well which trades can be good and also realistic for the T-Wloves.

What I'd do is get rid of Ridnour, Milicic and Webster. It doesn't really matter what you get back, just as long as you take on expiring contracts.

I'll see if I can help you bud.

I'm not sitting in front of the game right now but I can make some suggestions for you and you can see what you'll need to get it done.

PG - Flynn with Ridnour backing him up is good enough
SG - Brewer (if you play him at SG and not SF that is) Wayne Ellington -

I'm not particularly sold on either of those guys. Everyone just keeps waiting for both of them to develop but I really don't think it's ever going to happen. I would package one or both of them plus a second rounder and grab someone that's more consistent. Brewer has solid athleticism and if you really like him keep him, but at least trade Ellington for a better starting or equal backup (equal to Brewer I mean).

SF - Lazar Hayward, Martell Webster, Wes Johnson - They're all decent players, I'm not sure what Lazars potential is but he's probably worth developing, I'm looking at some of his ratings online right now and it appears as though he's a decent shooter right out of the box. Personally this is a position I would upgrade. If you get rid of Ellington you can have Webster and Brewer at the SG. Have Lazar and Wes getting a lot of playing time and subsequent development at the Small Forward spot. Or if you're not really into developing players and want to win now. Then you can get rid of Hayward and package a 1st rounder for a guy like Iguadola or Danny Granger, an "almost" franchise player of that caliber. Would probably cost you a 1st round pick, ellington, and hayward. Plug that into the trade finder and see what you get.

PF - Michael Beasley, Kevin Love - Both of these guys are a real treat to play with, Love is incredibly underrated, can hit from the low post all the way out to the 3 point line (and he's an incredibly accurate 3 point shooter at that). And is one of the best rebounders in the game. Beasley has a big ceiling and could develop into something really special. So I don't think you need to do anything here. You can also experiment with Love at the C and Beasley at the PF spot if you need some offense the combo of both down low should really help you.

C - Darko, Kosta Kofous, Nikola Pekovic, - This position really needs an upgrade, Al Jefferson was not the best defender, but he was much better than these three. Pekovic is an interesting prospect and some friends have told me he's fun to play with and became a solid starting C in their franchises. I would say while he develops though go after a true starting center or a guy like Roy Hibbert, Andray Blache, (he can play the C very well though he's listed as a PF). Javale McGee, Greg Oden, or any other type of player that's not a superstar, but a solid starter. Out of that small list, based on experience with 2k11, Hibbert and Blache are both really, really good. Blatche is a bit better offensively, but Hibbert grabs offensive boards like crazy and gets easy putbacks, not to mention blocks everything as well.

So there, I hope that helps you out in your franchise. If not, it was fun to write.

OKCs GM Sam Presti comes from Spurs lineage, and values draft picks and young developing players (Green). With having drafted Cole Aldrich I don't see any suitable reason that the Thunder would want Gortat, and therefore move Green. With Durant/Westbrook/Green, not to forget Harden, they are a contending team in the West. Gortat, IMO, offers no more advantage than Aldrich moving forward, and so Aldrich should get the backup minutes.

And then with Gortat gone, I needed a backup center. Bass is listed as a C too, but he is only 6'8" and Howard cant play 45 min a game. And I wasnt comfortable with Malik Allen gettin 12-15 min a game. So I did this:

Don't see a need w/ JJ Redick on the Blazers. Portland has shooters, and ones that play better D than JJ. Ryan Anderson is fodder, and not worthy of a trade...unless he garnered some kind of cap relief which I don't think he does. With Blazer centers going down w/ injuries last year, Portland needs all the depth they have and probably then some...

Probably not what you wanted to hear, but ask and you shall receive.

Re: The Official Rate My Trade Thread

Thunder (me) get:
Korver
Noah

Chicago get:
Iverson (FA)
Kristic
2nd round pick

I got exactly what I needed for extremely cheap. I am now rolling in my association, 2nd in the west behind the Lakers.

I love shooting with Korver. He can't miss from outside.

Terrible trade.

I see you signed Iverson only to trade him, which is bad. And then as far as realism goes the Bulls would never give up Noah for anything close to what you offered. They were not willing to give him up in exchange for Carmelo, and here you are giving them Iverson.

I didn't make them take it. Like I said, I was extremely happy and shocked that I got the trade. Now the Thunder are unstoppable.
