Spring '13 GMAT Trade Approval Thread

[MadNESS]

Approved. In the future, please include total salaries as well as calculations and future protections on picks. Please update your rosters.

We didn't agree on the future protections on the pick. I didn't agree on the fact that the pick goes to the Cavs because I thought it was a lottery pick no matter what the case. I didn't know that the Kings position in the draft will be re-evaluated. I'm not going to just let that pick go to the Cavs. I wouldn't do this deal without a lottery pick. I wouldn't take on Chuck Hayes contract either if I'm not getting a lottery pick.

Now i understand that if a player like Carmelo Anthony gets traded to a team like the Kings, it is no longer a lottery pick. I didn't know that earlier because I was a beginner. I thought the draft is based on this years actual draft.

This is crap. Your making it sound like I cheated. You get the pick if it's 1-13. You new the protection on the pick, as you were the one who posted about it. I have all the emails of us discussing the trade over and over. There is a timeframe posted in the sign ups with rules. You agreed to those rules. I don't understand what your trying to do but this trade is not getting cancelled. This isn't my first pony ride. This is like my 15 game. We both agreed to a deal, and everyone knew what was going on. You posted, I accepted, you reposted, yourself, with the protection of the pick. And I re accepted, after you told me to re accept. I'm failing to understand what you "didn't know". A deal is a deal, and it was posted and approved. I'm seriously really pissed off right now, especially cuz I'm being called out.

[Karmaloop]

Please keep the discussion in the discussion thread.

As for my ruling, you both accepted and I approved therefore unless you guys agree to restructure the deal this deal is approved.

Trade #20

Denver Receives:
PG Kyrie Irving ($5,375,760)
PG Shaun Livingston ($854,389)
SF Omri Casspi ($2,277,306)
SF Luke Walton ($6,091,363)
Total Salary: $14,598,818

Cleveland Receives:
PG Ty Lawson ($2,544,529)
PG Kendall Marshall ($1,919,160)
SF Jared Dudley ($4,250,000)
PF Kenneth Faried ($1,311,240)
2015 DEN 1st (Lotto protected)
Total Salary: $10,024,929

$10,024,929 + 5 = $15,024,929 > $14,598,818

Nuggets accept.

It's tough parting ways with that many assets, but we get a franchise player in Kyrie Irving.

CLE accepts. I had so many fantastic offers for Kyrie from pretty much every team, but this one won it for me. It worked out nicely as I was thinking earlier today that a good trade package would be Lawson and Faried. Good dealing. BTW Karma, I'll have my roster updated soon, but am having internet problems in my hotel room, so I might not be able to until tomorrow my time (morning EST). Also sorry to the guy I f**ked over by stealing Faried XD.

Approved. Please update your rosters.

#21 - Minnesota & San Antonio

Minnesota sends:

Kevin Martin - $12,439,675
Chase Budinger - $885,120
Greg Stiemsma - $2,575,000
Luke Ridnour -$4,000,000
Total = $19,899,795

Plus 2013 BRK 2nd & 2013 Mempis 1st (protections detailed here: http://basketball.realgm.com/nba/draft/ ... s/detailed)

San Antonio sends:
Manu Ginobili -$14,107,492
Tayshaun Prince - $6,764,045
Nando De Colo -$1,400,000
Patty Mills - $1,085,120
Manu Ginobili -$14,107,492
Total = $23,356,657

Works easily within all rules (150%, 125%, <$5m)

We accept. Love that we can reunite the old Spurs big 3. Prince is a fantastic player to come off the bench for us with more winning experience - and he's shown solid performances for Memphis. The rest just re-balances my bench.

Good dealing moss.

Spurs accept. Kevin Martin is a bit younger to go with our team, Budinger is a player I really like who can shoot the 3, drive the lane a bit, and has improved his defense, Ridnour is a steady backup PG, and we add a solid asset with the 1st round pick. It'll be nice to see my Wolves win a title GM'd by Luke as well.

Approved. Please update your rosters.

#22

Milwaukee and Miami have agreed to a trade.

Bucks outgoing:
Larry Sanders - 1,991,760
Luc Richard Mbah a Moute - 4,794,192
Samuel Dalembert - 6,698,565
Total = 13,484,517 x1.25 = 16,855,646

Heat outgoing:
Dwyane Wade - 15,512,000
Jarvis Varnado - 217,301
Terrel Harris - 473,604
Total = 15,776,605

Well, we gave in and decided to sell high on our favorite Buck... BUT! We bring in a superstar, one that played his college basketball in our arena, Dwyane Wade. As good as Sanders may be, he is no star, and Wade has proven that he is a top player in the league. Good dealing, MIA.

I love love love Sanders. His blocking/defensive ability is incredible and he can only get better. I also like getting Mbah a Moute, a stretch forward and a great defender in his own right. Samuel Dalembert is also a serviceable center.

Approved. Please update your rosters.

#23

PHX and NOH have reached a deal

PHX Trade:
Marcin Gortat $7,258,960

Total: $7,258,960

NOH Trade:
Ryan Anderson $8,700,000

Total: $8,700,000


We're very high on Rhino and value his bargain of a contract for his production (17/7 18.9PER) . Good dealing NOH

Pelicans accept. Gortat joins Davis to form one of the best defensive frontcourts in the NBA

Trade approved. Please update your rosters.

#24

BKN Trades:
Deron Williams - $17,177,795
Andray Blatche - $854,389
Jerry Stackhouse - $854,389

DET Trades:
Greg Monroe - 3,217,680
Rodney Stuckey - 8,500,000
Jose Calderon - 11,046,951

Brooklyn accepts. Tough to deal Deron but we absolutely love Monroe. Calderon is a nice expiring and Stuckey is a nice player we like. Good dealing, Detroit.

Confirm. Deron is still an all-NBA point guard, despite having a rough season. He will pair nicely with Drummond. I also get a nice big in Blatche and I get out of Stuckey's contract this off-season.

Approved. Please update your rosters.

Trade 25

Detroit In:

OJ Mayo $4,020,000

Detroit Out:

Brandon Knight $2,678,640
Jerry Statckhouse $854,389

Mayo is a better fit than Knight for my team. We wish Jerry Stackhouse the best of luck.

We appreciated what Mayo brought to the team. We worry about Mayo in the open market this summer and we desperately needed a starting caliber PG that was fairly young and could come in and start immediately for us and for many more years to come, Knight is that player. We welcome back a familiar face in Stackhouse who should provide some leadership.

Great dealing Detroit.

Approved. Please update your rosters.

Trade #26

Chicago Bulls in:

Chris Paul $17,779,458
Lamar Odom $8,200,000
Willie Green $1,375,000
Matt Barnes $854,389
Total: $28,208,847 (125% rule = 36,261,059)


Los Angeles Clippers in:

Derrick Rose $16,402,552
Carlos Boozer $15,000,000
Jimmy Butler $1,066,920
Daequan Cook $512,633
2013 Bulls 2nd round pick
Total: $32,982,105

Deal works easily.

Moving Rose is tough and pretty hard to sell to the fans, but we are getting Chris Paul back while also turning Boozer's contract into an expiring contract in Odom. Odom, while worse offensively, will be a huge upgrade defensively and on the boards. Also, swapping the young talent Butler for a win-now player in Barnes is helping, as well as getting another 3pt shooter in Green. Cutting the salary was important in order to keep the 2014 plan alive, in which a max salary slot would be open for a possible marque free agent. We also believe that Chris Paul will happily take the max offer from us in the offseason.

Tough decision moving Chris Paul as there were very serious talks among the Lakers and Golden State but we eventually decided to send Chris to Chicago in exchange for Derrick Rose who we feel ultimately fits in w/ our longer term youth whereas Paul is closer to the age of the Chicago guys. Rose and Blake should make us a force for years to come.

Great trading w/ you Chi-town.

#27

Jazz get Brad Beal(4,133,280), Emeka Okafor(13,490,000), Trevor Ariza(7,258,960), Trevor Booker(1,385,280),& Chris Singleton(1,551,840)
total=27,819,360

Wizards get Gordon Hayward(2,709,720, Al Jefferson(15M), Josh McRoberts(3,135,000), Reggie Williams(2,612,500), & Demarre Carroll(885,120)
total=24,342,340

money works with 1.25%

Wiz accept. I move Beal & bad contracts for expirings & two players I really like. Excited to have Big AL next to Nene and Hayward next to Thabo. Enjoy your youth movement Ice! MKG ,Favors, & Beal are a nice fit.

Confirmed. Ariza/Okafor can defend but the real prize here is obviously Beal. Since Wall has come back, Beal has been showing why he was such a high pick. Beal/MKG/Favors is a pretty solid young core.

Approved. Please update your rosters.

Trade #29

Part One

Nuggets Get:
Future Considerations

Grizzlies Get:
PG Shaun Livingston (Vet min)


Part Two
Nuggets Get:
PG Jerryd Bayless ($3,000,000)
SG Dion Waiters ($3,726,600)
SF Alonzo Gee ($3,500,000)
SF Austin Daye ($2,958,077)
Total Salary: $13,184,677

Grizzlies Get:
SG Evan Fournier ($1,361,400)
SF Andre Iguodala ($14,968,250)
SF Anthony Randolph ($1,674,641)
Total Salary: $18,004,291

$13,184,677 + 5 = $18,184,677 > $18,004,291

Nuggets accept.

Iggy didn't fit in our long term plan, so we deal him to a team that can actually use him. We love Waiters' game long term with the Kyrie Irving, and glad we could bring the future that much brighter in Denver.

Giving up Waiters was really tough, but getting Iggy was too good to pass up. With Tony Allen and Iguodala on the wing, opposing swingmen will literally cry. Good dealing.

Trade approved. Please update your rosters.

#28 Minnesota and LAC

Minnesota sends:

Daniel Orton - $854,389
OKC 2013 2nd (if 43-60)

LAC sends:

Ronny Turiaf

Why for Min? Turiaf is a good shotblocker and will compete with Johnson for backup C spot.

D League prospect who we get a look at and possible 2013 2nd for Turiaf who became expendable once JO was acquired.

Approved. Please update your rosters.

Portland and Indiana

Portland trades
Lilliard. $3,065,040
Matthews $6,505,320
Freeland. $3,013,512
Totals: $12,583,872

Indiana trades
George $2,574,120
Granger $13,058,606
2014 2nd
Totals: $15,632,726


We love George and roll the dice on Granger. Port now needs a pg so offer up

Indiana waives Sam Young to create a roster spot.

Indiana accepts. Very hard to give up George but Lillard+Matthews is a great package.

Approved. Please update your rosters.

TRADE #31

Los Angeles Lakers receive:
PG Isaiah Thomas ($762,195)
SF Travis Outlaw ($3,000,000)
PF Patrick Patterson ($2,096,760)
PG Toney Douglass ($2,067,880)
TOTAL: $7,926,835

Sacramento Kings receive:
PG Steve Nash ($8,900,000)
SG Darius Morris ($962,165)
SF Antwan Jamison ($854,389) (minimum contract exception)
TOTAL: $9,862,165

Nash is a HOFer, but he's just not a good fit for the current Lakers. We love Thomas next to Kobe's game and Patterson is a nice young big. Salaries work.

Gotta love a deal where you get the best player (Nash) and dump the worst contract (Outlaw). I love IT and didn't want to part with him, but this is too good to pass up. Jamison ball's when he get minutes as well and Morris started for a while in LAL. Carmelo needs a pass first PG to get him the rock and let him do his work. Nash isn't perfect and not what he once was but, he is an upgrade and still a great PG an leader. Something Sacto hasn't had in a long time

#32

The Bobcats and Nuggets have agreed upon a deal.

The Bobcats send Andrew Bogut ($13,000,000) in exchange for JaVale McGee ($10,000,000) and Jordan Hamilton ($1,121,520).

Bobcats Outgoing/Nuggets Incoming: $13,000,000
Nuggets Outgoing/Bobcats Incoming: $11,121,520

Deal Works.

Bobcats accept. We think Jordan Hamilton is the next LeBron.

Nuggets accept.

Bogut is the second coming of Bill Russell.

Approved. Please update your rosters.

#33

San Antonio sends: Tiago Splitter($3,944,000) + Kevin Martin($12,439,675) + Corey Joseph($1,074,720) = $17,458,395

Indiana sends: Roy Hibbert($13,668,750) + Miles Plumlee($1,073,280) + Jeff Pendergraph($1,500,000) = $16,242,030

San Antonio accepts. Hibberts been the defensive anchor for the #1 defense in the NBA. He's a bit overpaid, but he's still a very good center. Chalm Down Bro sold me on Plumlee, said his floor is 40/20, we hope he can produce 4/2 for us.

Indiana accepts.

I like Splitter a lot and needed to fill a hole on the wings, Martin helps in that respect. Hated giving up Plumlee(next Wilt IMO).

Approved. Please update your rosters.

#34

Clippers:
Jamal Crawford $5,000,000

Cavs:
Tyler Zeller $1,563,120
(2) 2013 1st RD Picks (via LAL & MIA)

Clippers move Crawford to Cleveland where he can be better utilized as our team changes its direction, we welcome Tyler Zeller to LA who we hope can become a long term solution to our bigman rotation.

We have the best defensive team in the league and wanted to add offense. Maybe a slight overpay, but I don't even think so. Nice, quick dealing Willy!

Approved. Please update your rosters.

#35

PHX and OKC have reached a deal


PHX Trade:
PJ Tucker $762,195
LAL 2013 2nd round pick

Total: $762,195

OKC Trade:
Hasheem Thabeet $1,200,000

Total: $1,200,000


We like the progression Thabeet has shown at OKC and retain hope he can regain his form that made him the #2 overall pick in the draft.

Anyway, I accept. Anyone who's watched more than two or three Phoenix games this year knows why this is a good deal.

Approved. Please update your rosters.

#36
Houston in:Zaza Pachulia: $5,248,750 and Anthony tolliver $854,389
total=$6,103,139

Atlanta in:Royce White $1,645,440 and Tim Ohlbrecht $144,867(UG)
total=$1,790,307

Difference is $4,312,832 which houston absorbs because it is 4.76 million under the cap.

Get a good expiring center in zaza. good dealing ATL Boy!

As an Atlanta fan I love Zaza, he can motivate the masses and is a fan favorite but I just couldn't pass up a chance to get a solid Rookie who was the 17th pick in this years draft who has loads of talent and potential. Zaza was expiring and I probably wasn't gonna get anything for him. Low risk high reward. good Dealing

Approved. Please update your rosters.

#37

PHX and ORL have reached a deal


PHX Trade:
Channing Frye $6,000,000
2013 MIN 1st

Total: $6,000,000

ORL Trade:
Kendrick Perkins $8,300,531

Total: $8,300,531

Perk will bring veteran leadership and is still a Top 3 post defender in the NBA. Good dealing stern

Orlando accepts. Save a little money and get a pick that, now that Luke has done his reprise of bringing the Spurs north, will probably be close to #30.

Approved. Please update your rosters.
