Pacers/Grizzlies
Pacers trade:
93 first
94 first (lotto protected forever)
Grizzlies trade:
Dominique Wilkins
Bah. It's an overpay for a guy that's expiring and who had lower numbers as a non-option, but I'm a Hawks fan and I finally get 'Nique. Hopefully the picks will be really, really low.
(process my free cut in draft contracts first so I have JUST enough cap space for 'Nique lol)
D-Rob/Vaught/'Nique/Macon/Jackson should work well for me. Still have my MLE too to fill out the depth.

Accept
Didn't necessarily want to move him but will have gotten into hard cap troubles soon. Opens up a bit of flexibility for me this season and had a run without him so still confident I’ll be a strong team

Re: Pacers/Grizzlies
Not a deal I would do but we know Chipper is in love with Nique and as a fellow GM, I can appreciate an overpay b/c it helps set the market for other deals 
Added the '94 pick to the futures thread
Done

Re: Pacers/Grizzlies
Sorry but you could have had a max deal and still traded Micheaux for Nique. Should have waited after free agency..

Re: Pacers/Grizzlies
I had my max targets and didn’t get them. After Day 1 I saw no one else as worthy of a max. No reason to wait for me to get going on my roster building.jibbajabba614 wrote:Sorry but you could have had a max deal and still traded Micheaux for Nique. Should have waited after free agency..

Re: Pacers/Grizzlies
You could have had Alaire or Buck for less money and for free. Makes no sense to give up those picks for something you could have signed.chipper wrote:I had my max targets and didn’t get them.

Then you could have had Alaire AND Wilkins. Not well thought out this time bro.

Re: Pacers/Grizzlies
I wouldn't have offered Alaire or Buck what it took to get them on that day so that's a moot point.UOducksTK1 wrote:You could have had Alaire or Buck for less money and for free.

Re: Pacers/Grizzlies
I mean, I agree, but you name those guys? Alarie got the max 2 year, and Buck got 17M. Where's the less money? I mean, I guess you could do Alarie for like 10.5M 3 yr and it'd still be less technically but that's beside the point.UOducksTK1 wrote:You could have had Alaire or Buck for less money and for free.

Re: Pacers/Grizzlies
I think what me and TK both meant is you had 12 million to play with to get depth even if they were on 1 year deals. U mentioned your MLE. So you technically had 3 MLE to play with but instead you ended up with 1 if you waited a couple more days to process trade.

Ok I can understand that- that’s a fair statement. I could have waited until after today for sure.jibbajabba614 wrote:I think what me and TK both meant is you had 12 million to play with to get depth even if they were on 1 year deals.

Re: Pacers/Grizzlies
I appreciate the fact that I wouldn't need Larry Micheaux on a 1 year $12M deal. These haterschipper wrote:Ok I can understand that- that’s a fair statement.

Re: Pacers/Grizzlies
I thought Buck got 12 mil, not 17. And if Alarie got offered 11 mil, first year salary almost always trumps years/increases. So right now Chipper could have easily had Alarie and Dom right now for those two firsts.The Bean Regime wrote:I mean, I agree, but you name those guys? Alarie got the max 2 year, and Buck got 17M.
