I just love the fact that Kat is there Deeeez

It is great to see KAT up there for sure, really good sign for the Knicks (and Cap)

This is awesome.

Like, I acquired this dude in BAF AND supported the IRL trade and I'm repenting. That's a good season.

Alright, potential big deal just fell through so I currently have no pending moves. Everyone except Chet and Duren is available in the right deal, as well as all of my picks (again, in the right deal).

Priorities:
1. Would love to offload Beal, Hield, and/or Grayson's contracts. Willing to pay to do so, particularly for Beal.
2. Mostly looking for young talent with 3+ years of team control and/or picks.
3. Would entertain going in the opposite direction as well, dealing guys like Braun/Hawkins along with picks for more win-now types.
4. Largely just wanting to discuss. I can truly go either direction. I find myself moreso in the middle now, once again lol. Open to ideas!!!

Most Valuable Pieces (in descending contract order):

All Players:

you literally said my team got "lucky" when we got to the finals. And then started hyping up your mid team saying your defense is gonna be so nasty!! :lol:

I see you don't want smoke no more though. I can respect that. You know we not in the same league

You did get lucky.

As far as my team it is a great team but unfortunately the sim isn't smart enough to see I got lock down defenders at nearly every position for whatever reason.

And my team did improve greatly which was all I was saying. You can try and lie and spin I know that's all you ever resort to though.

Yeah a team that made the ECF for 4 seasons straight with a championship and 2 finals appearances got "lucky". You gotta work on your trash talk if that's the best you got rookie :lol:

And nah, the SIM recognized you built an awful team like we all thought it was. Sold your future for some mid lmao. Anyways it was nice spanking you on the road rookie. Maybe one day you'll get out of the lottery. Out here looking like the Bobcats. :lol:

Sorry is your sorry ass still talking.. you're making up things as you always do. I didn't back pedal anything. You make up stuff in your head and then think that's actually what happened when it didn't.

Keep it moving, go to your containment thread. 8-)

A clown as usual that doesn't know ball and back pedals every time. Wake me up when you make it out the lottery. Love seeing you try to dodge smoke cause your trash talk back fired and you can't back it up. You can go back to the thread where you defend creeps though lmao

Updated LeBron trade:

Boston Out:
LeBron James - $325/3 years
Quentin Grimes - $35/4 years
Georges Niang - $5/2 years
Total: $365

Boston In:
Bradley Beal - $295/3 years
Jordan Hawkins - $21/2(3) years
Total: $316
3 1sts
5 2nds

Save $50 and acquire Jordan Hawkins along with 3 1sts and 5 2nds. Beal's contracted is bloated but he's been my third best player this season by a large margin.
