Bledsoe is kind of a tough one for me because most of the good teams either have a PG who is either equal to or better than him and even most bad teams have a PG of the future so they wouldn't want him taking away their minutes.

One of the team that I think could really use him is a team like Orlando. Another option could be waiting until you get deeper into the season and see what injuries occur and hope a fringe playoff team get's desperate. With that said, what are you looking to do? Are you looking to the future or are you trying to get better ASAP?

Gonna pick MB3....using all my cap space, which bad contracts plus players/picks can I trade for? I know it won’t happen in real life but I wanna then take the picks and trade them for Jayson Tatum who isn’t starting ( they also traded for MKG ) and only gets 12 min and pair him and Zach. Oh only different thing I did in year 1 was refund GS their $3M back for Jordan Bell After firing GarPax And traded Lopez and Grant to LA FOR milos teodosic, why? No idea lol love his passes, wanted him backing Dunn and Zach Thanks Silent Edited: so I took all the bad contracts I know teams didn’t want Omer Asik, took 2019 first round pick ( and Jackson, might give back ) Luol deng, took clarkson and 2020 pick or 2021 can’t remember Tyson chandler, took 2019 pick top 5 pro Joakim Noah, took 2019 first round pick What ya think?

The Celtics love Tatum and I don't think they would trade him unless it's in a package for someone like AD or Porzingis, so you're going to have to trade that 2nd Pick in the draft and probably at least LaVine or Markkanen for Tatum. I still don't think the Celtics would even come close to doing that in real life but 2K wise I guess it's fair.

As far as taking on the bad contracts, I think that's smart for you since you have cap space, however I don't think those teams would give those picks up unprotected. Especially since most of the teams you listed should be bad. I think Billy King ruined trading unprotected picks for everyone.

Lastly, I don't think the Clippers do that trade either. They're pretty high on Teodosic and I don't think they trade him for two players that wouldn't really move the needle for them and add a lot of extra salary for backups.

Bucks?





I’m not sure if they’d be willing to part with Parker even pending his RFA. PHX always is a good spot for injured players, I’m thinking Grant Hill/Duke here lol.


Parker remains a large hope for the Bucks however so moving him for another injury prone player could prove difficult. If you’re willing to absorb a Henson plus picks it could be a match.I’m just not sure what you’re looking for.The Bucks had been previously interested in Bledsoe so it seems to be a fit for them.

Just saw the reply, I see your point! After playing with Tatum and my young team, it just felt wrong lol so I restarted over again, this time didn’t trade for milo ( signed him in the offseason ) got the 3rd over pick this time but still took MB3. Didn’t take the bad contracts only took Dengs with Jordan Clarkson.

Now here is where it got fun! I was only testing stuff!

Michael Jordan is our HC! Tossed an offer to KD and he took it! But I don’t want someone over powered on my young team! Do you guys think trading KD to the Suns for Booker, Tayson, Knight is fair? Should I add picks or get picks?

For the first time the heat let Winslow walk, I think it’s because I changed him from a SF to PF, he was only 70 ( he said he’s working on the 4 so I changed him )....tried to sign him but he picked NY

What ya think about Dunn, LaVine, Booker, Markkanen, MB3?

I was playing around to assess trade logic to see if it's actually possible to get Anthony Davis if the C's threw the kitchen sink at NO. It took 3-4 first rounders, Jaylen and Al to do it, and more if I recall. But they said yes, eventually, and man what an offer it was.

One of the things I noticed is that the 1st rounder they got from Philly for giving up their # 1 (for Fultz) isn't tradable. Why is that? That was going to be a major asset and I couldn't use it.

Hey guys, playing as the Knicks and want to do some realistic trading to prepare for the future.

First up, Enes Kanter. Personally, I love the guy but he's too similar of a player to Willy Henangomez, Willy is younger and cheaper, I can mold him more. Plus there is already a backlog in the front court. I can see a few places that would take Kanter.

Knicks trade: Enes Kanter
Nets trade: Jeremy Lin, salary dump

I get Jeremy Lin to play point with Nilikita. The Nets pair Kanter with DeAngelo Russel and the rest of the young pieces.

Second, looking to get rid of Courtney Lee, another player I love but he doesn't match up with the Knicks timeline, hoping I can get a late first round pick from a contender, worse case, I just want to get his salary off the books.

Started a Denver my league, looking to get blesdoe at starting point guard.

Faried, Nelson, Barton and 1st round pick for Blesdoe and some pieces to make the salaries match, fair?

I'm about to start a MyLeague with the Pelicans and I'm looking to unload some salary while bringing back a stretch four for the bench squad. This roster is overloaded with mediocre combo guards and forwards, and they've got some bad contracts. I'd like to clear the logjam and create playing time for rookie PG Frank Jackson off the bench. What's the realistic price for unloading E'Twaun Moore (3 years/$25M) and Solomon Hill (3 years, $38M) onto a team with cap space? I was thinking something like the following, but I'd like to get some feedback:

Bulls get
F Solomon Hill
G E'Twaun Moore
2018 1st Round Pick (Top 10 protected)

Pelicans get
Bobby Portis
