We don't like to give up on Batum, since he's one of my RL faves, but we're getting the best player in the deal--right. You need stars in this league and Dame is the closest thing to a star in this deal.

Memphis accepts. Lillard and Conley are a bad fit. We like Batum a lot and get some good depth in Burks and Ulis. I think this gives us a really great defense.

Total: just about $47M. Money easily works

Warriors accept. We hate trading KD and Clark after they re-signed but part of the reason willing to give Clark a big salary was to trade him for matching purposes. We lose a great in KD but bring back an All-NBA caliber replacement in Paul George then get some depth for our team in Dirk, Andre, and TJ. Good dealing NESS. Never thought you were going to give in on a trade.

Needed a starting caliber PF, and Gasol fits in perfectly with my plan. The seconds are icing on the cake. I like Clark and his contract is similar to Jordan Clarkson's, but I need to balance my roster. Good dealing Kendon!

Wesley Matthews ...... $17,884,176 .. $18,622,514 (PO)
Derrick Favors ......... $12,000,000

Blazer upgrade their SG and PF position for the cost of an over priced - injury prone Nerlens Noel. We are confident that both Wes and Derrick will return to form after injuries (2 year after Wes' Achilles). Both had pre injury performance with outstanding efficiency after the all star break in 2017. We are always willing to work with proven producers versus potential guys. Just should have asked for more. good luck Ness

Lakers accept.
Well this kind of just fell in my lap. Sometimes you have to take a huge step backwards to take two steps forward. We like the young bucks here, and we know the title is going to GSW again, so we preparing for a run in the very NEAR future, not right this second. Hate to see Favors & Wes go in the same deal, but now we have more pieces to play with! Good dealing Scott!

Accepted. The thunder trade Ibaka for depth. And we don't have to pay him 30 mil per year any more. We love Randle and don't view him as all that much of a downgrade from Ibaka. And getting a solid vet like gasol is always a good thing. Pleasure dealing Ness!
