yes. also, please send me all picks sent So i can update the draft debt page.

[ohnosono]

Since the index won't update correctly for free agents, for me at least; can we please put the names in the titles?

I know man. I haven't signed a free agent yet because so many topics have 2-3 guys in it. I can't keep up.

[cwilder]

I like how active it is before the trade deadline.. Kinda like real life. Would prefer we do the sim this morning. As always incredible job commissioner

[LoCo89]

Lakers just got serious yo lol

[ohnosono]

That was a lot to give up for Odom. He's a young stud but damn!

[LoCo89]

I know Prep was driving a hard bargain for him from my dealings with him

[ohnosono]

Yeah, I had to give up on that dream as well lol.

[BallSoHard]

If I didn't have infrastructure already for him I would have never paid that price. I actually didn't make the moves before that with intent to get him, but I always listen to trades no matter how outlandish they may seem and will accept if I feel i'm getting a greater asset in return as long as it doesnt effect my core. I've managed to shed 4 million dollars off my cap this year and grab a 20 year old PF that does a little bit of everything. I don't really need him to lead my team in anything because I have Marbury and Grant Hill, don't need him to lead in rebounding because of Dale Davis, I just need him to do everything well, which he does.

But my vision for him is as below and he has 4 years to catch him:

556 Lamar Odom SF 20 6'10'' 220 B- B- C A- C+ B

270 Kevin Garnett PF 24 6'11'' 220 A- C+ C A B+ B

Bold vision,though youre very thin at the frontcourt right now

[BallSoHard]

Paper thin.

[Conroy]

I'm still trying to figure out how you ended up having the 11th, 20th, and 22nd overall pick of the creation draft on one team.

[BallSoHard]

I made Moves like Mick

[PrepP]

I think we both ended up happy with that move. BallSoHard really wanted him obviously. Even after the failed first trade that i backed out of. He made me a good offer and i was looking to move him for the right one. He does produce in all categories but i didn't like his turnovers, poor shooting, or contract. That should improve on his new team where he wont be the best player like he was on mine and with the move to PF. He's still really young too so he has time to improve.

Clips now have tons of young talent and picks to make a trade for a star player if anyone is looking to deal.

[BallSoHard]

Speaking of which,

CP, do we have a chance to sign our own free agents first? that would only seem appropriate.

[AD23forMVP]

Yeah I think it is:

-Resignings
-Draft
-Free Agency

I'm not 100% sure on that though.

[LoCo89]

Yeah, I had to give up on that dream as well lol.

I hear ya... Im just surprised he made a move that appears even, I don't know about everyone else's dealings, but literally every trade I've been offered from prep appears to seriously tilt his way lol

[ohnosono]

yeah same here lol. Felt that way anyway. I try to make fair offers, but every once in a while I'll start off negotiations with a terribly one-sided offer.

[Xist2inspire]

Hey, when's the sim for today?

[LoCo89]

I think cp3 said it was for 8 or 9 tonight.

[AD23forMVP]

It will be if this trade doesn't get resolved before I have to leave.

[Pelicans78]

That sucks. I've been waiting all morning.

[cwilder]

Haha get the deal done boys! We should have an actual time deadline for the rest of the years. Like 9:00 am the morning of the sim or something.

[Xist2inspire]

Hm. This may give me a chance to rethink my lineup for this sim, it's nearing crunch time for this squad. If I can avoid slipping any further before penny gets back, I might have a shot at a late surge.

[IamQuailman]

Haha, working on it! The deal was done like 3 times but got caught up over salaries and then traded pick issues... hopefully will have it finalized soon.

[AD23forMVP]

Yeah next year we will.

Also remember we're starting the 60 day trade/signing rule.
