Forum Game Rip City S2 Mock Off Season 2018

[Chris Craig]

I think my biggest curiosity of this whole thing will be if the person who gets the Blazers can convince another Blazer fan they should take on ML.

Suddenly not sure if I want to be the Blazers

It's pretty easy actually. I got rid of him on the Sacramento site one (and Turner). Last year on Blazersedge I was the Kings and the guy who was Blazers traded me Crabbe and Leonard with picks 15 and 20 for a bunch of crap like Temple, Koufos, Skal, and Afflalo.

 

[BonesJones]

No lol, I want them now!!!!!!!!

Ok.

 

[BonesJones]

Lol I think we'll have a rule that LeBron can't sign with the Warriors.

Yes.

 

[BonesJones]

Just putting this out there too that whoever gets the Blazers is likely going to have the Warriors as the other team so they can focus on the Blazers.

I can focus on Pheonix and Portland. I think Portland should take less focus than other teams because we should already know Portland's situation and have ideas of the direction we'd go.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Instead of the Celtics?

Kings as my second. Celtics aren't going to be making many moves this summer imo.

It's not necessarily about being able to, it's just that winning the Blazers should get you the worst team (Warriors because little moves).

It makes sense, but we already have initial teams though. If we have to resort to a couple people with 3 teams, Golden State could be that third team. I know you don't want that, but it would work and since GSW won't make moves, it won't even be like anyone has a 3rd team. My dude should be hopping in here shortly, and then we need one more correct?

Yes

 

[Nationalbballa]

Could I be Chicago?

 

[hoopsjock]

Could I be Chicago?

Yup Bulls are available. Welcome!!

 

[Chris Craig]

Yup Bulls are available. Welcome!!

1 more come on

 

[BonesJones]

Could I be Chicago?

Wassup man!

@hoopsjock I told you I came through!

 

[Chris Craig]

Wassup man!

@hoopsjock I told you I came through!

Still need one more

 

[BonesJones]

Still need one more

Then get one!

 

[hoopsjock]

Wassup man!

@hoopsjock I told you I came through!

We'd be done if we just let Gronk have the Blazers

 

[hoopsjock]

Okay guys, here is the deal. I have secretly told @TBpup a number between 1-100. The person who guesses the closest gets the Blazers as their team. PLEASE RESPOND WITH A GUESS OR YOU WILL NOT BE IN THE RUNNING. If you don't care about being the Blazers then either say you don't care or don't respond.

@BonesJones @Mediocre Man @Chris Craig @BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94 @KeepOnRollin @Fonzthecpt1 @TorturedBlazerFan @PtldPlatypus @UKRAINEFAN @SwissBlazer @tykendo @JDC

Edit: A tie will go to whoever guessed first. If someone gets the number right on the mark then they get the Blazers.

So far I have the following guesses:

@SwissBlazer 4
@Mediocre Man 20
@Chris Craig 27
@BonesJones 67

That means that @BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94 @KeepOnRollin @Fonzthecpt1 @TorturedBlazerFan @PtldPlatypus @UKRAINEFAN @tykendo and @JDC have not submitted a guess yet. If you wish to do so still please submit a guess before we find one more person. Oh and if someone could please talk one more person into participating that would be great.

@Nationalbballa you are welcome to guess a number between 1-100 if you want to be in the running for the Blazers as well.

Obviously I’m a Blazer fan, but I’d prefer we just have it to @Gronk Brady .
So I will not put a number in and stick to Miami since I’ve had a few days to study up on Miami’s roster!

Does @Gronk Brady still want the Blazers. I'm good with the Bucks if so

Gronk only wants the Blazers, so even if we gave it to him we'd still need one more person to participate and only have one team. It's just better to find one more person and draw.

@hoopsjock Don't you post over on RealGM too? Have you tried over there?

 

[BonesJones]

We'd be done if we just let Gronk have the Blazers

No we wouldn't. He wants one team only, so we'd still need one more, or to let someone have 3 teams.

We need to forget about him. We find one more and it'll be better for everyone.

 

[BonesJones]

I have a fellow YouTuber that's done some mock drafts on his channel and me and him were talking about doing something like this for YouTube. I don't think that'll happen, I don't have the time to put all that together. So I could see if he wants to do this instead.

Yes, please do.

I don't post on Real GM. I post on some of the SBNation sites like Blazersedge but I don't really know anyone worthy of this over there.

 

[Nationalbballa]

Hey if I can get a second team can I use the lakers?

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Hey if I can get a second team can I use the lakers?

Only if you promise to burn it in fire.

 

[BonesJones]

Hey if I can get a second team can I use the lakers?

This works. As Blazer fans, we all hate them!

 

[hoopsjock]

Hey if I can get a second team can I use the lakers?

Yes, but we were going to have a rule that you can't trade between your two teams.

 

[Nationalbballa]

Yes, but we were going to have a rule that you can't trade between your two teams.

Ok

 

[Mediocre Man]

Yes, but we were going to have a rule that you can't trade between your two teams.

Why? As long as it gets approved somehow why would it matter?

 

[hoopsjock]

Why? As long as it gets approved somehow why would it matter?

Because even though a move by itself might seem legit, there are ways to help one of your teams out for future moves that might not be immediately apparent.

The NBA has implemented this when a coach or GM is traded to another team, like the Knicks and Kings are currently not allowed to trade until August.

For the legitimacy of this game the rule needs to be implemented. I'll try to make it be a team you don't want Philly to trade with.
