I accept, due to Blake being a Clipper already (in my mind at least) I don't need Randolph. Plus I don't like him and have Camby I can play at PF for now, but I get the 3rd overall pick and some cap relief. I'm not sure what I will be doing with the 3rd overall pick, but I will be talking to Memphis about moving up to #2...though I would be happy with Thabeet or Rubio. Krstic and Watson are both players I like, Watson brings me some toughness as a backup PG (plan to keep him) and Krstic doesn't fit the team but I like him (maybe trade bait?) Good luck to the Thunder and Zach in Oklahoma!

I accept. I have been shopping constantly for a big man who can contribute right away and I think Randolph is that player. Thabeet or Rubio would have been nice additions to my team, but I am trying to make a run in the playoffs and don't want to wait for them to develop.
I still have 4 picks in the draft (18, 15, 2 2nd rounders), and I didn't give up any expirings for this offseason. (Although I would have liked to have some expirings for next year as well, I feel its a fair compromise).
I have $26 million in cap space this offseason and 4 starters in the 80s.

Also I'm cutting Alex Acker $711,517/1, to make room for Atkins.

I'm not sure on this one. Z-Bo is a good player but the third overall pick is alot to give up for a huge contract. But its not that deep of a draft so i guess i accept.

I'm going to go along with this line of thought pretty much myself. I'm not a huge ZBo fan, and the #3 could end up being better all by itself, BUT I see why both sides are doing this deal. It's not really rejectable for me.
I'll accept. That's approved.

I am not a FAN OF Z-BO AT ALL.
but this is sim leagues and not real life (I still ain't trading for him cause of his contract give me 75 rated Shaq at 50 mil before Z-Bo at 90 for 15 mil.)
but I'll accept this, this draft class is not great in terms of star power, and I am pretty sure LAC is probably going to move 3rd overall pick if it's Rubio since he will have high demands from other GM'S and get another quality player prolly a Center or Small Forward.
For OKC it's a risky move but I like the Westbrook, Randolph, Green, and Durant combo, should make them competitive in the Northwest division.

What does Kobe think of this trade and the possibility of Blake Griffin AND Ricky Rubio playing at Staples  |

In real life, this trade is awful for Oklahoma, in sim league, it's good.
