*SportsHoopla NBA Mock Draft*

[Mecca]

I am. I’m going all in. Batum is underrated and walker is a legit star pg that I’m missing.

I love Kemba.

But, he only has one year left on his deal.

Jamal is a better shooter and still on a rookie deal.

Batum makes 30 million a year.

He averaged 12, 5 and 5.

The pick is what makes this such a bad deal.

But, that's mostly because I'm factoring in real life.

They did the same thing last year to get Trey Lyles and that pick turned out to be Donovan Mitchell.

 

[Black Adam]

Can someone make a call on the Sixers pick? Its been about 20 hours already...

would be nice to move this along a little...

There is another Philly fan here volunteering for the job.

Sting has to make the call...

 

[Mecca]

I honestly didn't even look at Gortat's salary.

Wiz might have to add another contract to make that work.

Meeks, Smith or Scott?

Salary doesn't have to match exactly, right?

I thought they only had to be within 75-80 %.....

Do we have to take it into account?

I didn't agree to do math....lol

I have a much longer answer but here’s the short version.

Kemba and jokic make like 14 mil next year. I’ll max both out next year and be a a huge tax payer for one year.

Then milsap and batum come off the books and I can reload.

I started this mock with 5 PFs on the roster. I turned 2 guys who didn’t help Denver into the room to add a clearly positive player at a position of need. Even if overpaid. With Lyndon and Lyles I can move manimal and not blink. This was the big fa move they needed but couldn’t make cause they were capped out either way.

Any of the 3 will make the trade work work under the cap. Meeks and Smith would have to pick up their player option.

 

[Mecca]

Wtf?!?!

I just got banned for a couple minutes...lol

I apologize for criticizing trades and for trying to oust Flyerhawk in favor of Sparhawk ala Pat Riley to Van Gundy.


I'll play nice.

Yeah, I think I read something about the Nugz working on a Jokic extension.

Fair enough.

What are you doing with Barton?

Interested in a sign and trade?

Yeah, that's the thing, if I was going to max out Jokic now, I couldn't have done this.

But since I'm in charge, I'm sitting Jokic down like the Pistons did with Drummond and saying "dude, we love you. We wanna max the shit out of you. But we want to wait a year so I can add to your supporting case and make this team even better."

 

[The Q]

Right now I plan on keeping Barton as my 6th man since his versatility is a nice fit for the roster.

 

[The Q]

@Arizona_Sting

Since I have like 4 teams, can I trade with myself? Nothing major or anything and you can obviosuly block. But when I have teams who can match up I'd like to be able to help them out.

 

[The Q]

Also, the Chicago bulls are open for taking on some bad deals in exchange for assets so you guys can chase good basketball players.

This franchise doesn't know what those looks like anymore anyway.

Correct. Not sure the percentage but it does not have to be exact. I know it has to be closer than what we currently have though.

@Shanemansj13

Can I add either Meeks or Jason Smith to make the cap work?

Your choice.

I would prefer to keep Scott though.

I will take Meeks. He actually has a player option this year

Cool.

Let's assume he takes it.

I don't see why not.

I vote yes if it's all the same to Sting.

As the OKC GM I have 2 2nds and a nice trade exception and you have Harrell.

Can we strike a deal?

Not for #53 or 57.

I already have 59.

He was a nice rotation guy for us.

Since it looks like the Clippers are using Tobias Harris as trade bait, Gallo is always hurt and I have no idea what Jordan will do, I'm gonna hold on to him until after the draft.

Understandable

Okc is in such a weird spot cause literally half the roster are free agents July 1
