It's just a weird trade. Like finding out that Carmelo is in the league and that somebody rostered Bronny in the same trade.


I had a particular strategy in mind for melo EL which I saw the Spurs do and couldn't replicate it so decided to pocket a second round pick as an asset

With one more deal just sent in, since the beginning of October:

Total Out:
Spoiler:
LeBron James - $325/3
John Collins - $226/3
Buddy Hield - $111/3
Kyle Lowry - $55/1
Desmond Bane - $29/3
Isaiah Jackson - $20/4
Bronny James - $11/2(3)
Georges Niang - $5/2


Total In:
Spoiler:
Jimmy Butler - $480/2
Ja Morant - $114/2
TJ McConnell - $44/1
Kevin Huerter - $36/1
Dalton Knecht - $34/3(4)
Jordan Hawkins - $21/2(3)
Ryan Rollins - $1/4


Same # of 2nds, One more 1st

As I have said before my biggest enjoyment with this game is through making moves. Maintained cap flexibility this upcoming offseason, will have Butler's massive deal expiring next season, picked up Morant, Knecht, and Hawkins (the later two under team control for a long time), and kept Chet.

Only a few more days until the deadline, always open to discussing trades. Chet and Knecht are unavailable.

Open to an Aaron Wiggins blockbuster if you need a $1 option off your bench.

Dropped a 41 burger last night and you get control of him next year for $1 as well.
