Forum Game Rip City S2 Mock Off Season 2018

[hoopsjock]

He got three top 8 picks from the past 2 years.

2016:
4th - Bender
8th - Chriss
2017:
4th - Jackson

LMAO, thanks, I know what picks those guys are. Doesn't mean they are worth that in a trade.

 

[Chris Craig]

You couldn't even get a 1st rounder?

I tried. Its ok 2nd rounders are unguarenteed.

Ok.

LOL, Bones spun that crap on you? HA HA HA HA HA HA!

Wow.

 

[hoopsjock]

Wow.

C'mon Bones, just having fun. Honestly though I can't stand when someone tries to tell me 2nd rounders are better than 1st rounders.

 

[BonesJones]

LOL, Bones spun that crap on you? HA HA HA HA HA HA!

Maybe he values those players more than you do?

Porzingas and the Knicks front office don't get along and he's coming off an ACL injury. All three of those guys still have a ton of potential and Fizdale is a great coach for a player like Jackson.

Nah, after the Knicks ripped off the Raptors they got ripped off by the Suns. You can't spin it any other way.

 

[BonesJones]

C'mon Bones, just having fun. Honestly though I can't stand when someone tries to tell me 2nd rounders are better than 1st rounders.

It's a crapshoot between 20-40. I wouldn't say their more valuable, but the difference between 31 and 25 is very small.

That's your opinion.

 

[hoopsjock]

Okay, so I'll trade you 34 and 39 for 21 if the big trade goes through.

 

[BonesJones]

There's a much bigger difference between 21 and 34 than there is between 25 and 31.

 

[hoopsjock]

There's a much bigger difference between 21 and 34 than there is between 25 and 31.

That's why you're getting 39 too! Oh what you say isn't the same when the tables are turned? 2 picks in the "20-40 crapshoot" range instead of 1.

 

[BonesJones]

I'm saying the difference isn't as big as you make it, not that there's no difference at all.

 

[hoopsjock]

I'm saying the difference isn't as big as you make it, not that there's no difference at all.

So when you trade an All-Star you have to get high 1st rounders but when someone else does then 2nd rounders are better?

 

[hoopsjock]

BTW, you are so fun to mess with. Sorry, but it's true!

 

[BonesJones]

See how many times I pass you the ball out of the pick n roll fams.

Three top-notch prospects.

 

[hoopsjock]

Three top-notch prospects.

LMAO! Maybe Josh Jackson but the other two are busts, absolute best case scenario projects not "top-notch prospects".

Can't declare them busts yet, they're only 20.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Can't declare them busts yet, they're only 20.

Sure you can. Especially Chriss, since he's a Husky.

 

[BonesJones]

Suns Gets (@BonesJones): #11, Mason Plumlee
Hornets Get (@PtldPlatypus): #16

 

[Chris Craig]

Suns Gets (@BonesJones): #11, Mason Plumlee
Hornets Get (@PtldPlatypus): #16

So this is why you woyldn't give me the 16th for Porzingis? Terrible

 

[BonesJones]

So this is why you woyldn't give me the 16th for Porzingis? Terrible

I threw in Chriss and 31 instead of 16, which I think is better for you since you need a PF to replace Porzingis and Chriss would be a top 15 pick in this years draft, and that's not even talking about you getting 31..

I’m in. But not with that lineup.

The starting 5 would be LeBron, Hood, Kawhi, Gallo, Thompson.

Big lineup, I like it. I was just guessing haha.

I'd go after a big versatile defender in free agency. An Al-Farouq Aminu type so you could switch 1-4.

Try to get Ariza with MLE

 

[BonesJones]

Either that or use the MLE for Noel to put at C who can switch and then trade for an Ariza/Aminu type. I think that's the way to beat Golden State.
