1st trade:

Warriors trade:
Rodney McCray
Ricky Brown
Josh Woolpert
Jeff Cook
Wes Unseld

Rockets trade:
Kenny Carr

2nd trade:
Warriors trade:
Vet FA

Rockets trade:
Juan Antonio Corbalan


I accept. Trading McCray as a rookie SUCKS. But I am going for it this year, and clearly need more scoring production. Carr is either going to start at SF over Reid, or be a super-sub off the bench at SF and PF (Cliffy ain't sitting).

Accept.

Really wanted to hold onto Carr and compete, but the young guys didn’t develop enough. McCray fits better with this teams timeline.

Cut Mark Olberding, Wesley Tornopsky, Carl Nicks to make room.

Rockets need many cuts for this to work

Currently at 14 players so I can do trade 2 first but then the Rockets need 4 cuts to process the other trade

Here's 3 of them.

Can you cut the vet free agent from the 2nd trade and the players noted above.

And if he's at 14 players- then he only needs to cut 3- because 14+5 -1 (Kenny Carr) = 18, so 3 is good.

At 6’7” I’m sure Carr could fit as a SF. Gave up a lot of depth for a possible rental so its lowkey championship or bust because of all the contracts piling up.

As for the Rockets they pick up a young star in McCray and continue to rebuild.

I give the Rockets the edge because they are already loaded at PF and get a young star in McCray while the Warriors took a pretty big risk that would require immediate results.

Nah- Carr's loyalty (only used in re-signings, to be fair) will help. He's the kind of player that's worth keeping long-term too because of his scoring prowess and what else he does.

And I can't be a team that loses to teams like the SONICS like in this last sim. Yeesh.

So that’s what those ratings are for lol. I think your roster is stacked enough that you can afford to lose that kind of depth but I still gotta hand it to the Rockets since Carr isn’t really a casualty on a team with two young up-and-coming PFs. This deal would probably swing to your favour if Carr resigns tho.

Dont think those numbers do anything but I could be wrong

I really like these shake them up trades that come out of nowhere.

I see what the Warriors are doing and Carr/Juan will provide very good depth scoring for a contending team while "only" giving up rookie lotto selection to try and compete for a title.

Rockets had a weird roster construction so this will help balance things out but they are giving away their best player and the fans are asking "When are we going to compete?"

To judge who wins this trade, we would have to evaluate next preseason when McCray develops or doesnt, and of Carr resigns with the Warriors.

Done

I agree with this.

I think Carr is a stud and I personally would have looked to move a different piece if I was the Rockets. If McCray blows up the next TC or two though it will be solid value.

The Rockets are super interesting though. They have 5-6 top prospects/talents but the results aren't really there so far with the lack of a backcourt.

I think Rockets got the better end of this tbh- as I think McCray will be a stud very soon. But I had to do this. Carr is a stud right now. And it’s probably an overpay but I really felt I had no choice.

Well if he resigns then you can truly weigh how well this deal is. Although he might ask for max deal tho.
