I am a rebel.

I got the Sixers. You might be getting an offer from me.

Noel for Russell.

Just brainstorming right now. So we'll see.

Wait until the market opens, KeepRondo! Celtics might have interest in Noel too...

sound like a Smart idea

TP for the clever tactic!

[Csfan1984]

[KeepRondo]

[Redz]

Super Max. How bout we get a run down.

Recap.

Here are the unclaimed teams. I'll organize them by the ones I think must be owned to do the mock, should be owned, and don't need to be owned:

Must Be Owned:
Utah Jazz
Phoenix Suns
Cleveland Cavaliers

Should Be Owned:
Toronto Raptors
Detroit Pistons
Charlotte Hornets
Washington Wizards
Minnesota Timberwolves
Memphis Grizzlies

Don't Need To Be Owned:
New York Knicks
Golden State Warriors
Dallas Mavericks

Ideally, I think we could start around 5 PM EST on Wednesday, but we still need to fill a bunch of the above teams.

[KeepRondo]

TP max for the nice run down

I think we need a knicks owner. Carmelo should be a possible trade target for younger assets.

[BornReady]

I want to take Brooklyn nets

Also how are the trades going to be done?

We'll either do a large trade thread or via PM. I'm leaning toward large trade thread. What does everyone else think?

i think large trade thread
as it might get messy tracking all the trades with PM

[Quetzalcoatl]

I'll take the Jazz or Cavs

So you're saying Kawhi for Lee is off the table? 

[max215]

I'll take the Jazz or Cavs

Excellent! I gave you the Jazz.

That's tampering. Official Complaint hereby lodged.

Any deals involving Noel or Smart to LA should be void.

Ideally, I think we could start around 5 PM EST on Wednesday, but we still need to fill a bunch of the above teams.

If nothing else, a couple of us could take two teams, and we'd just prohibit any actions between two teams with the same GM.

Make sure to PM all of us with the official rules, criteria, and start time and everything, because knowing me I'll forget all of this by the time I wake up tomorrow morning. lol

You should probably be Adam Silver, too, or have someone who is dedicated be him. Any trade that happens must be sent to him for approval, which would just mean it works under the rules. Then they could post them to the thread to let everyone know who is/isn't available and what new teams start looking like.

1. Yes, that could be our backup plan.
2. I'll PM everyone the info once the teams are set.
3. I think the easiest solution is to require a link to ESPN/Real GM Trade Checkers to ensure that the trade is legal. If there is a dispute, I can definitely serve as the commissioner though.

[max215]

Here's the plan, everyone. We'll try to fill the remaining teams with new owners, but the teams that aren't claimed by 4 PM EST will be distributed to members who already own teams. I'll then post the thread and open the market at 6 PM EST. Any objections?

[trickybilly]

Someone HAS to take the knicks. I want a discussion with Phil.
