Raptors/Lakers Trade - processed

[LakersGM-old]

Oh i dont deny you had the better offer netsgm, but i mean do you understand where im coming from on the better team thing? I mean I can make a max offer to a 3 or 4 which this years FA pool is absolutely full of. I mean theres pau randolph chandler ak47 rj shard. Chandler is putting up damn good numbers. I mean now i have something like arroyo wade Bosh? Bosh? Pavel. Then the next offseason i have 10 more million coming off the cap through vlade and atkins to fill any holes i may have. With the nets deal i really didnt have that flexibility. I would have had question marks at the 3 and 5 with only 6.5 million to solve those problems. Im think i made the right decision in order to make my team better as a whole.

[LakersGM-old]

is that the new index?

[CavsGM]

Not bad. I hope there are some big players that don't re-sign to make a good free agency.

[RaptorsGM]

Pavel isn't a quality starter, IMO.

His shooting precentage is terrible for a 5.

And Bosh ONLY had GOOD SIMS when I slowed my pace to a crawl, and looked for him Inside.

Mihm is probably going to enjoy only a short stay here. I might look to move him for a top-5 draft pick THIS YEAR even.

[NetsGM]

You wouldn't have had room for a max free agent, no.

But you cutting 2.5 million in salary for next year, plus taking on Borchardt and Arroyo was your decision.

And you won't get anyone as good as Boozer in free agency.  Everyone that good will re-sign with their team most likely, and everyone and their mother has cap room this year.

And I don't think Pavel is a starter either.

But, it's your call.  I think you made the wrong one, but it's your call.

[RaptorsGM]

I'm GLAD you made the wrong one.

I thought this deal was done mon night. Then tues night. Now ed you almost ruin everything for me.

[SixersGM]

Another questionable deal for the Lakers. Mihm for the package raps gave him was already lopsided, then lakers added his lottery, then its simply ridiculous. Bosh, like wade, is a completely different player in this sim. GMs should realize that the sim league and the real NBA are 2 completely different worlds. The best thing bosh and wade can be are complimentary players.

For the raps, kudos!

[RaptorsGM]

Thank you. Perhaps my Kings and Lakers trade make up for me falling on my face with the Mavs.

[NetsGM]

Well, I don't think Bosh is going to be bad.  I agree he'll likely never be THE man, but he should be very good.  If he develops, 18/9 or 20/10 isn't out of the question.

[RaptorsGM]

I've run FBB a couple times, and every time Bosh never goes up in weight (210) and goes to B potential after the first training camp, but his rebounding and scoring dont change..

I broke this trade down as:

Pavel
Kings pick (2oish)

for Mihm

AND

Bosh

for a lottery pick and Walton.

[SixersGM]

I can bet my 1st rounder that he wont be that good.

[NetsGM]

You can run FBB a million times and never get the same results.  Even if all the attributes are exactly the same.  And they aren't.  Everytime you create a game there's randomization of the attributes.

[SixersGM]

I know, but with his ratings and his capabilities, i doubt he would be a 20/10 player.

[NetsGM]

anyone remember chris mihm from the last fbb?  B- inside and B rebounding and he put up 25/12 or something ridiculous.

[SixersGM]

You mean, my MIHM?!

Tell me what are the odds? I think its worth putting a first rounder on the line. Unless you do a "Twan Job"
