Mock Off-Season: NBA Draft and continuation of Mock Offseason part 1

[SD2042]

.

Clippers GM here.

Need to know the status and availability of SG/SF Pat Connaughton?

[stitches]

If I was going rebuild and looking to dump salary I would consider this, but I can't give up my starting SF/PF for a project SF since we have playoff aspirations with Nurk in the fold.

How about

.

.

UTA gets Eric Bledsoe
POR gets Hamidou Diallo + Boris Diaw(he's a non-guaranteed salary, can be waived)
PHX gets Mo Harkless + Better of UTA2018/OKC2018 first round pick + UTA 2019 first round pick(top 10 protected, turns into 2 seconds in 2022) + UTA 2019 second round pick

?

Or Crabbe? If PHX prefers Crabbe?

Patty is available, he showed a lot of growth towards the end of the year and is probably ready for a bigger role somewhere. What did you have in mind?

I am willing to work Crabbe in if it make sense, I would need some sort of SG back.

I'm thinking of the Clippers 2018 2nd round pick or the TPE worth 1,209,600 of your choice. Will one of these work?

SG? The Sacramento Kings have SGs. We can send Langston Galloway, Arron Afflalo, or even Malachi Richardson in a deal if it nets us something. Malachi would cost a bit, but we would be willing to move him if it helped our team moving forward. Malachi looked pretty darn good last season before he got hurt. We just have a lot of SGs.

The Nuggets making Emmanuel Mudiay available for a future (lotto-protected?) 1st

I would be all over this if he could hit a jumper

[spearsy23]

In case the player I'm targetting is still there at those picks is any of you guys willing to trade the pick for #55 and your choice of a future second round pick from the ones the Jazz owns(you can see them

Thanks in advance.

I'd hate to miss out on my guy, but I'm strongly considering this. Sadly, the largest obstacle may be that I really want to be done with my picks so I can stop checking on this and just wait for the draft to end.

Lets see if bwgood77 is interested at all.

I am going to need to address PG one way or another. Lets just table these for now. We still have free agency and the rest of the draft to see what happens. Perhaps there is some movement that free up a PG that we can work into the deal. Bledsoe is kind of the leader and heart of the Suns right now, especially with Tucker gone, and as much as it makes sense to get rid of him, especially looking at the Suns from the outside, I think the young guys kind of see them as their leader, so it would be a big loss, particularly if it was mostly just future likely lower half of first round picks or 2nds.

I do really like Crabbe but I don't like his contract. I might consider him if Knight can be moved. Harkless probably makes more sense, though I'd need to look at his contract. We do need a good backup 2, but that's a pretty hefty dollar figure to pay a backup.

bwgood - I'd love to make another offer if Bledsoe becomes available down the road

I can take care of it for you. After I take my guy(hopefully) you can send me your board for your remaining picks and I will select your guy for you so you won't have to keep checking.

The Nuggets as well (like we do already the whole mock)

[LuessiT]

Hey, Toronto here. As of right now, we have plenty of guys we like. Unless you are willing to take Bazemore for cap space, it would take a homerun offer to make a deal (e.g. at least 2 2nds).

Can't afford Bazemore due to unknown effects of how CP3 and Griffin's contracts will turn out.


As for the 2nd round picks, they will have to be future picks. Will u be good the conditions?

After looking things over Toronto, would #51 for a future 2019 2nd pick suffice for the sake of the deal?

No we'd need at least 2 seconds as of right now. That might change when Toronto is up at #51.

What happened to everyone in this game? It seemed like everyone was much more involved early on than they are now. Its like a ghost town the last 36 hours.

31 trades were made already, how many more would you expect before free agency?
Most valuable draft picks have been chosen. I'm sure things will pick up again when we finally get past this second round

It's hard to keep interest up when you're sitting there for hours and hours at a time without a pick. It's disappointing to me that people would sign up for this if they aren't able to at least check in every few hours. I don't think anyone expected the draft to be a week old and only two thirds of the way done.

I'm going to pass for now. I have one guy at the top of my board who I think could potentially help me this year and I can't take the chaNce on missing him. If he is gone then I will get back with you.

That was my point. Activity has fallen off a cliff since Sunday night. I am hopeful things will pick up again once the draft is done.
