Let me get back to my shadow GM duties.

Hoffa is in panic mode, bro. If I were you, I’d offer one of my win-now players for Morant + the 2 picks. Cuz you’re probably gonna lose someone to free agency anyway. Why not restock the cupboard now?

You can beat the Curry, Irving, and Shai offers. Just sayin…

Yep and my win now players fit with his young core too. The choice is his if he wants to push his team into contender status. I have no problem taking a step back.

Morant is better for Cleveland since he is cheaper, younger, and locked up long term.

Morant is right in Melo’s wheelhouse. This is gonna be a scary scenario if they pull the trigger.

If the chemistry thing is also real in the SIM, I will likely be much worse since I am breaking up my championship core. I am basically giving Hoffa a clear path to the ECF against you while I take a step back.

You gonna let politics get in the way of winning?

Toronto will trade with anyone and deal fairly, as long as the trade makes sense for all parties.

My track record supports that I am willing to put issues aside and consummate a trade with any RealGM.

Hoffa too scared to deal wit a conference rival whom he has had garlic with in the past.

But we all know scared money don’t make money!

Hoffa playing buddy ball. Only willing to deal with certain GMs.

this must be how dana white feels when mcgregor and his opponent just keep talking **** to each other. every time they open their mouths, he just hears money going into the cash register.


unless you guys object, i think a Game 3 of Hoffa vs 2010 on September 9th would be ideal. last game leading up to the start of the tourney


If no one else wants to play I’m down for Blazers vs OKC/Indiana

I am up for this. Maybe the two undefeated teams go at it if they prefer.

We know your GM profile. You don’t have the stomach to take on that type of salary and give up the players and talent it’ll take to match #’s. In addition to the draft capital.

If you make a move it’ll be for a young win now talent on a reasonable salary.

• A Cavalier or two…

• Doncic…

• Shai… (but you won’t wanna include any picks and will have the gall to ask cap for a pick or two)

Etc.


The only guy I could see you breaking character for is Harden. Simply cuz he is a two-way beast in the SIM and you would view him as matching up with LeBron in an attempt to neutralize his impact. But in taking on his salary you’d weaken your bench. My bench and my depth is what separates your squad from mine.

So if The King and The Beard cancel each other out, I’d bet on myself winning the battle of the benches and supporting casts.

He could keep his depth while getting stronger if he trades with me. I’m getting the impression he doesn’t want to win now though.

His primary agenda has never been to win. To troll is his main focus and his modus operandi.
