The Official Rate My Trade Thread

Re: The Official Rate My Trade Thread

This would never happen and is not fair in any way. You get nothing but great talent and solid contributors, and they get a developing big man in Cousins and a twilight year SG/SF in Hughes. This trade only hurts the Lakers and greatly reduces their chances of winning another Championship.

You're basically getting Brown and Bynum for Cousins?... No way. You would need to give up way more talent/picks to get Brown and/or Bynum from the Lakers.

idk how it worked. i put cousins and hughes in the trade finder, and they offered bynum (they also wanted my second round pick, but since second rounders suck in this game i didnt include that above) they put up bynum and i added brown. next thing i know the trade was accepted.

Re: The Official Rate My Trade Thread

Okay, maybe I should have worded that a bit differently... That trade would never happen in real life, and should never happen in game. Now I do understand that the CPU will allow these ridiculous trades to go through, however that does not mean they should be accepted.

I'm not sure what your style of play is or if you go for a real life-simulation type feel in your association or not. But I do know you posted here and so you must have wanted some feedback, and that's all I'm providing, my opinion of the trade. If you're okay with ripping the CPU off and stacking teams go for it, it's your game and the trade engine will definitely accommodate you in this. However, I've always been one to look at what both teams need, what direction they're going in, and would this even be considered in a real-life scenario.

One last note: Second rounders don't necessarily suck if you have a decent draft class and develop them properly.

I guess ORL isn't the only team dumb enough to want Arenas' 81mil contract. Duncan's still beastly in this game and will retire before Arenas contract expires, you got the better end of it. Never happening IRL.

Re: The Official Rate My Trade Thread

I just did a trade and was suprised it was accepted.

T'Wolves (me) get:
Gerald Wallace

Blazers get:
Anthony Randolph

The computer must really think Randolph will be a very good.

Yeah, Ranolph has a lot of potential, and thus has a lot of trade value around the league. Great trade for you, not so much for the Blazers though but hey, if you like it that's fine with me.

Re: The Official Rate My Trade Thread

I think I pulled off this trade in my last association.

Orlando gets:
Al Jefferson
Derreck Favors
Paul Milsap
'12 1st Rd pick


Utah gets:
Dwight Howard
J.J. Reddick

Gotta do it early in the season though, beford Howard strongly likes being in Orlando.

I know he has a lot of potential but I didn't think he was good enough to br tradedx straight upfor Wallace. I didn't save it because I'm still thinking of what star or superstar I want to add to the team.

I think you gave up too many big men but you can always replace in the draft or free agency.

Re: The Official Rate My Trade Thread

I'm looking to upgrade my SG with my Denver association (year 2) and I've narrowed down the choices to Andre Iguodala and OJ Mayo.

I'd have to give up more to get Mayo but he has more upside in the game. My reasoning on these two is that Mayo has fallen out of favor in Memphis in real life while the 76ers have Evan Turner so trading Iguodala for some younger players seems realistic.

Anyone have experience with using either and having success?

Don't think sixers will give up iguodala at this point, hes the point forward, most important player of the team, while turner isn't doing so good, very inconsistent, nobody knows what kinda player he will become, I would acutally trade Turner, he has lots of values...

Re: The Official Rate My Trade Thread

Im using the Lakers in my association and I traded Andrew Bynum and a 2nd rounder for Deron Williams. In addition, I also traded Shannon Brown for Serge Ibaka.

Re: The Official Rate My Trade Thread

Lakers:anthony parker,luke harangody
Cavs:shannon brown,matt barnes "10" 1st rd pick

The reason i did this is because shannon brown and matt barnes demanded a trade due to the lack of PT or and role on the team
so i had no choice but to trade them,both are going to be free agents
at the end of the season and most likely wouldnt have resign so
i went out and found this trade i thought it was fair..thoughts?

IMO you got robbed. i'm pretty sure you could have got more for those 2 players and a 1st round pick. i know with barnes if you give him around 21 or 22 minutes a game he is happy and brown no matter if you make him happy still tries FA.
