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

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

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

100%. Bad for chipper

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.

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.

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

I wouldn't have offered Alaire or Buck what it took to get them on that day so that's a moot point.

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.

Right- exactly.

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.

I appreciate the fact that I wouldn't need Larry Micheaux on a 1 year $12M deal. These haters

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.

THIS^ My examples weren't the best, but the principle is still true.
