Sixers / Celtcis deal

[CelticsGM]

Sixers trade

SG Manu Ginobili
Philly 2011 1st rd pick

Celtics trade

PG Andre Miller
SG Kareem Ratliff
Celtics 2010 1st rd pick
Celtics 2012 1st rd pick

additionally (as stated below) Sixers cut Kyle "Air" Korver

[SixersGM]

OK.. I agree..

[CelticsGM]

My reason is pretty obvious: I had no SG. And now I get one of the best.

Miller was the easiest to let go with the emergence of Elliott and Snow. Ratliff might hurt sometimes, he's still unfinished I believe.
And the pick was the price to pay (at least with the rebuilding of the sixers there's hope this 2011 pick could be lotto - which mine this year easily could be too   )

[RaptorsGM]

Sixers,

Did you just trade a 9.5ppg SG for a starter-quality PG, and nice youg SG and 2 likely lotto picks?

Damn.

[SixersGM]

My reason:

Im in a rebuilding mode. And im too busy to add more explanations.

Not really..

Manu wasnt an option this sim 1. Its computer recommended and it listed "TD. Houbregs. Ernest Austin" as its scorers.

And manu has a very good ratings. He's a complete player who can give you 12ppg 4.5rpg and 5.6apg with 2.4spg. Plus the fact that im rebuilding, i think my 2011's 1strounder holds value.

likely lotto picks ? You forget
 - I lost on a playoff birth last year on a tiebreaker
 - Field exactly the same team (minus Dre I had for 3 sims) plus Manu
 - Had a great (and i mean great) TC

 and don't play the Raps 82 games a season  

[SixersGM]

Sixers would like to cut Korver to make the deal work

[NetsGM]

Curry, Jefferson, Radmanovich, Ginobili, Snow/Elliot could be a playoff team this year.  I love Manu.  This is a guy who last year gave you 12 ppg, 6.2 rpg, 4.5 apg, and as man steals as turnovers from the 2 spot.  Shoots 40% from 3, 44% from the field.

And, of course, he better make the playoffs, because 2 lotto firsts would be an awful lot to give up.

Guys, this second pick is a swap with the sixers pick. I actually might have improved lotto position here with obtaining that 2011 76ers pick.

But right now, a team of TD, Tanner, George/Terp, Dre and Arroyo is still good enough for a playoff push ...

[SixersGM]

Sorry for being stupid, but does the 1st rounder have a 60 day rule?

[NetsGM]

lol.

no.

Did you miss the fact that in the 1st sim you went 1-6 and got outscored by almost 14 ppg?

Well, no. But it doesn't concern me too much.

If I'm 3-15  after sim 3 i'd be concerned (on the other side, with 7 of my next 11 on the road a possibility)

[HeatGM]

WOW..sixers did it again    manu is over rated... the two 1st rounder is a bit harsh....even if manu is in your lineup...its pretty hard to imagine you being in the playoffs coz nobody can score for you....

CONGRATZ to the SIXERS for doing a FINE JOB
