BUCKS/ HEAT TRADE

[HeatGM]

HEAT sends:

Mehmet Okur
Billy Joe Kim

for

Carl Harpring
Rodney Newman
Buck's first rounder 2010

[HeatGM]

REASON:

with 3 sims left...i dont think i can overtake the wizards in the playoff run...so ill rebuild for the next season...

I get carl harping... 4  years younger and with almost the same ratings as okur... what impressed me is his 2.5 bpg which my team clearly needs and lacks... and his height makes up his lack of rebounding ratings....

Plus ill get a pick that would help me in future trades ...

while BUcks have okur that would boost their chances and lineup in the playoffs... Okur is already a tested player and has a cheap contact that would save him at least 1.3 mil.... so bucks will make his splash in his first playoffs debut while i build my future....

P.S.

Bods can you run this trade before the sim...he told me this

I'm willing to make that deal.
I'm going to be gone at work until the sim is likely done, so I'm going to tell Nets that I accept either variation of that deal if you agree to it.  Otherwise we can discuss it further after the sim later.

thnx

[NetsGM]

Yes, I got a pm from bucksgm saying to accept the trade.

[KingsGM-old]

I don't think there is a better player for that kind of money then Okur. I would never trade him.

[BucksGM]

My reasoning for the trade is probably obvious.

The ratings between the two players were the same, except Okur's a better rebounder and my team is one of the worst 5 in rebounding.  And unless I make some mistakes in the offseason, the pick I gave up should be in the mid teens.

[HeatGM]

i know he's cheap but he is getting older and his value is going down.. what i hate about okur is his defense.. he is overrated in defense... and one of the leaders in fouls per game...it didnt get me anywhere with okur...
