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

[warren weel im]

..

The Lakers have come up with an offer that might benefit both teams.

OKC sends:
Enes Kanter
Doug McDermott
Bulls 18 2nd
OKC 18 2nd

LA sends:
Jordan Clarkson
Corey Brewer
28th overall

You get a 1st our of Kanter! Seriously, the Lakers want to free the possible logjam at guards. We'd like to play Ball and Russell as many minutes as we can. Kanter could use the change of scenery.

We have to cut some salary if we move enes. He's good just too expensive for where we are. We'd do it without brewer, and since he expires it won't hurt your pg plans.

So it eats into our cap space in '17? I'm fine with that.

[jayjaysee]

OKC could really use TJ as a backup point. Do we have an asset that fills the need? Can't be pick 21 though. Abrines?

Being totally sincere Miami views him as their starting PG if/when Dragic is finally moved. I'm only making him available for 1 target at 10 plus clearing McBob's 1-year remaining.

I'm talking about taking charlotte's place the 3 teamer. I could do
Abrines/chi 2018 2nd
Or
Sabonis/single/chi 2018 2nd
If the kings value either guy the same as atop 20 protected

Indy would offer capspace and a 2018 lottery protected first for that. Loved Sabonis and his season didn't change my mind.

But at this point in the chain, Sac isn't even tagged. But if I were Sac, I'd take 14, Sabonis, SIngler, McBobs and 2nd(s) for 10.. But if the Indy first is more interesting than Sabonis+Singler.. Indy will help.

(but why is Frank still not drafted )

Don't laugh — how much sweetener would you include if I took Deng off your hands?

That would include 2nd rounders, cash, possibly Randle.

Let's put a pin in this for tonight and pick it up tomorrow (especially after I see how my picks at #12 & #16 shake out). But right now, I'm open to discussing Deng & Randle for Leuer & Boban.

And this time I mean it — on that note, I'm heading to bed. G'night all, catch ya in the morning.

Just a thought before you go, or the 1st one you see in the AM: We are not trading Deng (while sending Randle) and taking back 2 bad contracts in the process. We're trading Deng + Randle, if it netted us Harris in the process, even if it came w/ Leuer.

[spree8]

Anybody want Augustin?

[kalenclayton]

If Philly is willing to do that, the Jazz are willing to add a second round pick to their offer if it makes any difference.

Philly... We are interested in doing the trade with you. 17, 18, PHI '18 2nd, NY '19 2nd for #10.

Utah. Your trade is a very close second right now. I think this trade is fantastic the more and more I think about it, but Lyles plays the same position as Skal. This makes the drop from 10 to 24 tough. If PHI doesn't want to do business, then I will go with your deal. Just waiting on their response.
#10 for Lyles, 24, 30 and '19 2nd

I didn't get your response on how desirebale Alec Burks is and if he changes the calculations at all. I can include him in the trade if you want him.

Alec Burks was definitely intriguing when we had Cousins. Now we have too many SGs to fit him in. If you could involve a third team to take on Burks to bring another or a better asset my way, that might make it better than Philly's offer.

I just wanna make sure we're clear, kanter does have a player option after next season. If that's okay with you then it's a done deal.

Alec Burks is available for a small asset(a second rounder or something of the sort) if anybody is interested and wants him.

Yes, he's on the books in '17 and a player option in '18. We can PM the Commish now.

How about a 3-team? Executed July 1

MIA out: 14, Johnson, McBob
MIA in: 10

CHA out: 2018 protected top 20 1st, 41, Sessions
CHA in: Tyler Johnson

SAC out: 10
SAC in: 14, 2018 top 20 protected 1st, 41, McBob, Sessions

That cap hit in two years is insane. No thanks

I was thinking it was intriguing for a moment.
Miami: if you can find a third team to take on Johnson and have an asset come my way, then we might have something.

Would this modified version work for you
MIA out: 14, Johnson, McBob
MIA in: 10

Okc out: 2019 Miami 2nd, Jordan Clarkson
Okc in: Tyler Johnson

SAC out: 10
SAC in: 14, Clarkson, 2019 Miami 2nd, Mcbob

I'm trying without domas because I also love him, but if this is the only way to get it done I'm willing.

Let's do this.

We like Clarkson. We really do. But he is a shooting guard who is projecting to be something like Jamal Crawford.

Currently our roster is:
PG: Fox - Galloway
SG: Hield - Temple - Richardson
SF:
PF: Labissiere - Tolliver
C: Cauley-Stein - Koufos - Papagiannis

We are looking to sign our SG Bogdan Bogdanovic this summer. As you can see, we have a logjam at SG. Adding Clarkson will just add to that logjam. Value is good, but fit is just bad. If we are bringing in that asset that isn't a pick, we are hoping that it is a SF. We have to decline.

I'm willing to add pick 28 if it gets it done now. And fwiw Clarkson is a combo guard but definitely plays the point.

Fwiw this was the best bidding war I've seen in one of these. Good job maximizing value.
