*SportsHoopla NBA Mock Draft*

[Mecca]

Let me put it like this. With the way Indy's cap is currentloy structured, I'll have enough for 2 Lebron james level FAs next year.

With the way the Lakers are constructed, they can have enough for 2 LeBron James level free agents THIS YEAR without this trade...

That's why @shopson67 hates it so much.

I'm fine with it.

Let it ride.

@CitySushi

Does this look right?

WE HAVE TWO TRADES:

1st Trade: @ChiefsLakers67
Lakers Receive:
Nikola Vucevic
Darren Collison
All Jefferson

Orlando Receives:
#47 Pick in 2018 NBA Draft


@The Q
OKC Thunder Receive:
Evan Fournier
Jonathan Simmons
DJ Augustin
#41 Pick 2018 NBA Draft

Orlando Magic Receive:
Carmelo Anthony

Indiana receives

Biyombo, #53

Orlado gives away their whole team for Melo lol. I mean if they are looking to at start over and build around Gordon...

Still dont see why the Lakers need this trade? It adds depth but does nothing else for them. This helps OKC more than anything but then they have this Fournier contract on the books till 20/21. Can this be a 3-way fuck trade possibly?

 

[Mecca]

Ok.

via proxy (of a 3rd party kind).

Philly selected;

PG De'Anthony Melton, USC

SG Grayson Allen, Duke

Both are actually good fits.

Especially Grayson if they let Redick go to go big game hunting with Lebron or Paul George.

Fournier having that extra year is basically why this trade can do down.

 

[Shanemansj13]

But, that's what you are doing to the Lakers....

Look, I'm not vetoing the trade.

I vote yes in it's original form.

I was just trying to make it less lopsided, which is why I initially said both 2nd round picks to Indy.

I’m all for screwing the Lakers but they prob get the best of this deal. Expiring contracts with Vucevic and Collison at least and they dont lose anything

Orlando gets to build around Gordon, Isaac and (in this draft) Mike Porter and will have GOBS of cap space in an income tax free state.

I think they come out of this pretty well.

Melo is an expiring deal.

Melo > Biyombo

But, who the hell plays Center in Orlando?

Melton is clearly BPA at this point.

Allen fits in perfectly in that reddick role (ironic, right?)

 

[Arizona_Sting]

Can yall tag me in trades from now on so I can find them easier? You guys are bunch of animals on here, hard to keep track of, lol.

This is my fault.

I PMed half the league day 1.

I love Melton's upside, he could be a lockdown defender, the upside is there. If PHX keeps the 31st pick and doesn't take a PG at 16 then he's on my short list of targets there.

Which was exactly my point.

Why in God's name would they renounce Slopez to add Vuvecik and Biyombo?

At least they'd be able to waive Collison and Jefferson.

I think Melton is in play for Boston at 27....he is alot like Rozier was coming out.

Damn it. If i knew those guys weren't guaranteed I would've traded them about 5 days ago.

FML.

You are my mock draft soul mate....lol

Lmfao....

Yes!!!!

And looks like Thad Young is declining his option.

Trade bait?

 

[The Q]

Yes!!!!

Trade bait?

nah, that means i can't trade him in good spirit. He's gonna be a UFA by declining that option.

 

[The Q]

You are my mock draft soul mate....lol

single and ready to mingle lol

 

[Mecca]

@Arizona_Sting agreed upon trade.

With the 34th pick in the NBA Draft....

The Los Angeles Clippers select:

Combo guard Shake Milton SMU

Ballmer Also hires Mark Jackson as Head Coach.

@Arizona_Sting

 

[shopson67]

yeah, i guess i don't see the first 2 guys I sent you as duplicate positions. Which is why i wanted to try to do something objective and avoid a long discussion. lol

Fine with me then...
