[GMAT 2013] Discussion

[Karmaloop]

have an opportunity to pick up an injury prone player. When it comes time to decide the playoffs, is there a built in assumption that teams are going to be at full strength? Or could somebody say, well, like that team but their main guys will probably be hurt for the series so they lose?

Guys that were injured prior to the start (guys like Rondo, Bynum, etc.) are assumed to be injured. Those after are assumed healthy.

OKC at
C Anthony Davis/Jason smith/ Brandon wright
PF dirk nowitzki/ earl Clark/ Bernard james
SF Kevin Durant/ Jae crowder/ Travis outlaw
SG Andre iguodala/ oj mayo
PG Steve Nash/ Darren collison

I like my starting lineup how it is for now
If I get great value I will entertain it though

What I'm interested in is moving collison/mayo/smith/earl Clark for a defensive minded center

much thx for the info.

Raises a followup question though. Is it only for announced season ending injuries? or...?

JRich was just announced to be having season ending knee surgery. Assume he is not going to be there. But what about a guy like Pau who is out 6 weeks but will be back? Or what about a guy who gets a concussion the week before our playoffs begin, but should be back in a few days? What's the time period?

Kyle Lowry / Nate Robinson
Dwyane Wade / Mike Dunleavy / Marquis Daniels / Doron Lamb
Kyle Korver / Tobias Harris / Linas Kleiza
Taj Gibson / John Henson / Luc Richard Mbah a Moute
Sam Dalembert / / Ekpe Udoh / Joel Przybilla

My top priority right now is upgrading Center slightly. Dalembert is playing well and will likely continue to. Henson is showing very solid potential (17/12/1.7blk per 36 - 6/4.3/.6blk in 13 mins) to be a great defensive player. LRMaM is a great defensive SF/PF. I can throw in my 2013 1st (unprotected) too.

Alternatively, I want a great offer for Wade that includes a C and SG that are young and that I can build around.

I've had a couple of good offers for Wade that I've had to think about; also a couple of terrible offers.

Talk of Wade's decline is completely overstated. He's averaging 20.6 points (50.5% / 56% TS%), 4.8 rebounds, 4.6 assists. The only thing in decline is his FGA - down from 22 per game to 15.5 per game....

PG: Kyrie / Boobie Gibson
SG: EG / C.J. Miles
SF: Alonzo Gee / Terrence Jones / Omri Casspi
PF: Mauricee Speights / Miles Plumlee / Kevin Jones
C : Hibbert / Tyler Zeller

Kyrie has a no trade clasue so do not bother

EG and Hibbert are very very difficult to get

Alonzo Gee, Terrence Jones, Tyler Zeller, CJ Miles, Mo Speights, Miles Plumlee are all solid young pieces that can be put together or added to my exp (Casspi, Boobie, Miles (UNG next year) ) or picks to get a SF or PF that I like and fits my plan. Not worried about future money, just want fits that I like

Speights is ballin in CLEV, putting up 15/6 off the bench since joining CLEV, He is my starting PF for now so please don't offer me EXP for him, he will only be traded in a package to get me non cavs that I like

[MadNESS]

Warriors, come out and playyyyyaa!

PG: Jrue Holiday
SG: Klay Thompson
SF: Rudy Gay

[Blazer50]

Utah is looking to solidify salaries and will entertain offers on UFA Paul Milsap and Al Harrington. I need good value in return (not looking to downgrade). If they are your expiring - you would have a 5th year to offer in retaining these guys in FA. Both 20+PER players.

Marvin Williams is also available for backup depth - Starting SG for real Jazz and reduced salary in 2013-14 deal.

Email or IM if you're interested - I will be around most of today.

[Tully305]

Boston Celtics looking to package following:

F Josh Smith
2013 1st RND (Cleveland) - unprotected

Portland's roster, after trades are approved:

Lillard / Vasquez / Barton
Beal / Foye / Pavlovic
Carroll / Ariza / Jeffries
Ibaka / Hickson / Freeland
Kanter / R. Lopez / Mozgov

Valuable pieces most likely to be moved are those in bold, and/or New Orleans 1st (unprotected)

Looking for a solid young SF, but open to talent at any position. Or bowl me over with another young star in return for Lillard.

[Karmaloop]

PG: Nolan Smith / Ronnie Price / Brian Roberts
SG: Austin Rivers / Elliot Williams
SF: Al-Farouq Aminu / Xavier Henry
PF: LaMarcus Aldridge / Ryan Anderson / Tyrus Thomas
C: Dwight Howard / Nick Collison

LMA/D12 will almost certainly not get moved. That's one of the best backcourt duos the NBA has ever seen, and a perfect fit both offensively and defensively. I've got almost 9 million in expiring contracts (10 million once Tyrus Thomas becomes tradeable tomorrow) to pair with Austin Rivers, and my 2014 NOP 1st (unprotected). Looking for a legit piece there. Love what Ryan Anderson does, and for the price so he won't be cheap. Looking for legit offers. Not your third string PG and SG for him. He's putting up 17/7 and only making 8.5 million this year, so give me legit offers.

#42 (Josh Smith from Brooklyn to Boston) and #51 (Ibaka+ to Portland, Aldridge+ to NOLA) are only trades I haven't approved yet. Every other deal is valid and rosters should reflect that.

If you're one of the four GMs involved in these two deals please check the trade thread for details.


Charlotte:
Bismack Biyombo / Byron Mullens
Andrea Bargnani / Perry Jones III / Jeff Adrien / Hakim Warrick / Kenyon Martin / Channing Frye [IR]
Michael Kidd-Gilchrist / Jeff Taylor
Jeremy Lamb / Rip Hamilton / Ben Gordon
Kemba Walker / Ramon Sessions

So I've got some excess power forwards. Hell, even my centers are actually power forwards. All are serviceable except Frye, who will be more than serviceable next year once he's recovered from surgery. Bargnani is owed $4M this season and $4M next season, but can't be traded for a couple more days. Please get your offers in before Bargnani becomes my fourth string 2 guard. I'd like to upgrade the talent level of my whole frontcourt.

First off, it's Portland that has the issue, not New Orleans. Secondly, it's a simultaneous trade so the roster limit isn't an issue. They happen at the same time, so essentially it's a four-for-four deal.

I don't remember it working that way in previous games, as I've always made sure that every part of a deal kept me within the roster limits, but as sterncohen pointed out in the trade thread, it is easily remedied by switching trade 1 and trade 2. I will approve it.



Also Charlotte is putting MKG on the block for a short time to see what I can get for him. I definitely need an up-and-coming star (or someone who already is one) coming back if I actually do deal him.

the only way it is simultaneous if it is done as 1 deal, 2 part deals happen 1,2 order according to the CBA

you can work around the salary by making it a 2 part deal, but limits have to work before and after each part

if it is portland's issue, just do it 2 1st and 1 2nd and it would work

[SamBone]

plus Price can be inthe 4 for 4 deal and his salary still would not count!

[Jake0890]

Pretty desperate to get a SF at this point. Willing to trade almost anybody on my roster.

Brooklyn Waives Keith Bogans. His salary is $854,389

FYI, Brooklyn GM just waived Bogans in the FA thread
