Minnesota sends:
Scottie Pippen

Milwaukee sends:
Charles Smith

Accept. Made it no secret I wasn't happy with Pippen's development and while I had anticipated keeping him this was too good of an offer to pass up. Lets me keep my upcoming cap too (even frees up enough for me to do a 13.5 and a 11.25 offer) which is also very nice.

Don't let the door hit ya on the way out Scottie.

For sure. First blockbuster of the season. I really like Pippen. More than Smith given my position needs

Smith is the better player to me right now, but Pippen needs to just have one good TC to become great. Will be interesting to look back on this trade in a few seasons

Ooh this is an interesting swap. Smith looks like he'll be a solid starter at least, but the Wolves might regret giving up Pippen so early.

And the Bucks now have Rodman and Pippen. Only one guy short of a full set!

Or we are 2 pieces short since we have Cartwright too

Don't forget Kerr

Love trades that involve big name superstar type players that didn't even get a post in the trade discussion thread.

Was initially the plan, but decided I didn't want a package of things for him (would rather just keep him than that), nor did I want to take on cap. So that pretty much just leaves rookie deals swaps, and this is among the best of those available. Made me comfortable enough to simply accept the proposed deal.

Who would I take over Smith for sure? DRob, D. Manning, K. Smith, and Drazen are probably the only obvious ones.

Well the Grizzlies are always down for a trade, should have asked them about Drazen

Not sure the league needs another Wolves - Grizzlies trade.

I like trading but not that much

I’m not saying you, but that’s why you always reply to GM’s DM’s. Honestly I won’t even offer a guy to someone if I know I might not get a reply back. Some GM’s shot themselves in the foot. I offered Smith because I felt it was a good offer and is… Pippen may never develop. I restricted him at SF for the sole reason of Melo 1.0. Most top bigs can’t even play SF.


Twolves are in win mode. I have the luxury to wait on Pippens development

That’s one of my issues. I start conversations about players and then the GM stops replying so it kinda ends things

interesting trade
