*SportsHoopla NBA Mock Draft*

Yes but you also have to look at who's worth that max contract. There are 4 guys out on the market: Lebron, CP3, PG and Boogie. After that you're not going to max DeAndre Jordan, Aaron Gordon or Clint Capela. It's always good to have a backup plan. They can set up with their young guys still and in 2020, it's a monster free agent class. At worst they'll have leverage to trade upwards of 34M in combined salary as expirings in 2019 with Deng and Biyombo.

Lmfao....2020?

I see what the hell is going on here.

@CitySushi is a fucking con man.

He's taking the Lakers out of the Klay/Kawhi sweepstakes.....lol

Well played, Sir!

Normally all those guys would get the max. If they don’t, it’s onky because this market is capped out from the insanity of previous summers.

Good thing this is just for fun.

Maybe he has more moves coming down the pipe.

Oh, I'm sure a pipe is involved...

 

[Mecca]

No otherwise it's be a wash money wise. I got back a 2nd round pick for Nikola Vucevic. The cost for that was taking 2 years of Biyombo. Vucevic is the best player to have been shipped there. His numbers support it and he's only 27.

Dude, you sent him two Centers.

They can't play together and this makes it impossible for them to get George/LeBron.

....it also makes it so next year, not only do they have to find a taker for Deng...

They have to find one for Biyombo too.

This is a horrible deal for the Lakers.

But, great for the other two teams.

Especially since the Lakers will have some extensions of their own to worry about by then.

Well I looked at the free agent trackers and I didn't notice Kawhi has a player option at the end of next year. I thought his contract ran through 2020. I thought Kawhi, Kyrie, Jimmy Butler and Draymond were all free agents that year.

If you guys want to veto it, I understand. But I think the OKC trade is probably solid.

@The Q

Do you have Indiana?

The trade is solid if the Lakers had any real intention of doing something like that. It's public knowledge they don't. This is just playing around anyway, so it doesn't really matter (other than exposing CL67, lol).

I'm not vetoing it.

I think I know how to fix this if the Indy GM is game.....

 

[Mecca]

I do.

You still looking for Picks?

I’m always game to talk deals. I’m a wheeler and dealer.

I think I want the same guy for all my teams....but I don’t say no to picks lol

 

[Sparhawk]

Sorry, pressed for time.
Just give me two auto picks.

Can you trade with me for one? Then I'll pick for you lol

@CitySushi , @The Q .....

I don't think the Thunder or Magic should get a pick.

I think this should be a 4 team trade.

Put Indy in there....

Send Biyombo and both the #41 and #47 to Indy...

Indy sends the non guaranteed deals of Jefferson and Collison to the Lakers.....

Thoughts?

Think Indy should get the 53rd Pick. 47 should go to OKC.
