Forum Game Rip City S2 Mock Off Season 2018

[BonesJones]

This is fine with me. I didn't say you jumped in. I said I knew nothing about 2 other teams being involved until you posted. I'm still getting the same guys so its ok.

Yeah HoopsJock was joking around with me as if I saw the trade then jumped in... lol.

I just want credit for organizing a 4-team trade because I've always been told that it's nearly impossible! Nah. Not when Bones is GM!

4-TEAM, 13-PLAYER TRADE

Milwaukee Bucks Get (@Chris Craig):
Bam Adebayo, James Johnson, Dion Waiters, Rodney McGruder
Miami Heat Get (@TorturedBlazerFan)
#17, Tony Snell, John Henson, Malcolm Brogdon, Pau Gasol, 2020 CHI 2nd, 2022 CHI 2nd
San Antonio Spurs Get (@BonesJones):
Kelly Olynyk, Bobby Portis, Omer Asik
Chicago Bulls Get (@Nationalbballa):
#18, Patty Mills, Rights to Nikola Mulitinov

*Note to Chris - You are sending out and receiving the same exact package as your initially agreed upon trade.
**Salaries Work - I even double-checked in the trade machine.
*** - I didn't see this trade and jump in. Me and Tortured were discussing Olynyk and Gasol 3 team trade with Chicago, but we couldn't make the salaries work because Waiters was going to Milwaukee. I asked him what the deal was before it was posted by C.C., hoping to combine them and make salaries work. Salaries ended up working out with 4 teams.

Can I get some input here? The way we are doing trades in secrecy it opens it up to things like this happening. I think we have to go with whatever version of the trade was posted first right? You should've talked to Chris Craig first before posting this in my opinion. We can't alter trades after they've been sent to the league office because it helps your team out.

So here is how trades need to be presented:
In the post type Trade Agreed Upon Pending League Approval (you can tag me if you wish). That trade will be official if it works financially. Anything posted after that with similar players will not be allowed as we will treat it as a call to the league office that you can't take back.

This is why I think some trade discussion in this thread helps with these kinds of things. You can see how other people value their players or offer to help out as a 3rd partner in discussions and whatnot. If all 4 agree with the trade we can let this one go but this isn't ideal for how to do things.

This isn't exactly proof, we got a bunch of people all wanting to make big trades.

 

[hoopsjock]

Yes, POR will be sending rights to Milovan Rakovic to PHI. You good with that @TorturedBlazerFan

@TorturedBlazerFan I'm assuming since you liked this post that you are okay with that?

I agree with it

I say, once everyone involved in a trade likes a trade, it's finalized. It's like the phone call with the league.

Yup good with it.

Next time I will.

For those saying the directions were unclear I did post this before anyone posted in there.

Missed it, should've said so in the confirmation thread OP as well and there would've been no confusion.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Just want to give a fair warning that I am going to be pretty busy tomorrow getting ready to make a 5-10m pitch to a military branch, and Sunday I am hoping to spend with my dad, father in law and my kids so I may not be very responsive.

 

[BonesJones]

Yup good with it.

Like the 4-team-trade if you're down with it as well so we can confirm.

I say, once everyone involved in a trade likes a trade, it's finalized. It's like the phone call with the league.

What I'm saying though is that once a trade is posted in here for league approval other teams shouldn't be allowed to change it. You or Tortured should have asked Chris Craig if he wanted to be a part of a bigger one.

My way of asking Chris was by posting it and seeing if he accepted it lol.

Was Craig not talked too?

They should have. Lets let it go this time.

My apologies, I should’ve messaged you.

I'm just saying that next time I am going to accept the trade that Chris Craig posted first.

 

[Chris Craig]

We discussed a trade between Milwaukee and Miami. I didnt know other teams were invloved. I am ok with the 4 team trade.

Sounds good.

Funny

docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1T2Eg_zvqNqQD_5TpE4Ns6xhElatXdLpYG1roZtRLyvE/

Is anyone good with google docs or a similar program. On Blazersedge someone turned this link into each team having their own page and then you could cut and paste players as you traded them with other teams and the spreadsheet updated automatically with salary info. Anyone capable of doing that? It would be of great help.

 

[BonesJones]

I just didn't think it was a big deal because you were sending out and receiving the same exact package, but yeah I'll message you next time.

I think our original trade between cc and I was posted here right before the trade with bones, but it was all pretty much right on top of each other. I know this because it all happened while I was on my pc and not on my phone. Anyways like I said, I should’ve said something in dm.

 

[Chris Craig]

Its all good

 

[BonesJones]

While NBA Twitter goes crazy over a 4-team trade, quiet whispers come out that Kawhi Leonard could be available for the right package, according to sources.

I really wanted to put together a package with Philly but they have a really weird group of salaries. If you want I’m willing to work on something for Kawhi that involves Whiteside.

 

[hoopsjock]

Milwaukee Bucks (@Chris Craig) receives - Troy Daniels (Monroe TPE)
Pheonix Suns (@BonesJones) receives - Most Favorable of MIL/WAS 2020 2nd Round Pick

I'm a little confused about the 2nd rounder here. The Bucks only get this pick if it is 56-60 so why the need to make it complicated by saying more favorable?

No interest in Whiteside tbh. Looking to bring in less than $10M. Looking for a Porzingas/Towns type of player.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Got a question about future picks, I’ve seen some trades involving them, and even been offered a couple since this game will probably not go for years, how do we judge if that’s a good trade or not?

I didn't see the protections. Just make it Milwaukee's 2020 2nd then.
