Beijing/MC

[London]

Beijing sends:
-Dave Bing
-Radivoj Korac

Mexico City sends:
-Happy Hairston
-Walter Dukes
-Roger Brown
-Otto Moore
-Andy Phillip

[Dave]

Don't really know how I feel about this. Saw it posted earlier and it looks like Beijing is giving up a ton it may come down to each teams scouts and how much they trust them. Moore looks good, I think this is a trade that won't show for a couple seasons.

[Tyler]

I agree with Dave. It all comes down to how Otto Moore and Happy Hairston turn out. Mainly Moore. Also whether or not Radivoj Korac decides to resign or not is a pretty big deal. As of right now though, I like it more of MC.

This may hurt MC if Korac leaves or if MC gives him an outrageous deal, but I dont get the Beijing strategy here. He traded his first to the worst possible team to trade it to to move up one spot to take Bing, makes Bing pretty much untouchable every step of the way this season, and then trades him ALONG with Korac for Brown and Moore? Happy and Dukes are irrelevant. Or since Dukes has that burdening contract, he is kind of relevant, in a bad way.

With all the risks MC is taking, of all of his prospects he sent guys who have the lowest value, and out of his bunch of overpaid solid bigs, he sent out the most unimpressive ones. A definite win

Agree with everything from the Beijing standpoint.

My thought is that Roark must be all-in on a 15 mil offer on Korac cause if he doesn't offer it someone probably will. Is that an outrageous deal? Because to keep him its probably what he'll need to pay.

[Berlin]

I don't think that's outrageous...for what Korac has done the past season and a half plus his presumed potential, I'd say he is more worth the $15 mil than some of the guys who are already making it (Paolo V anyone?)...still, the question mark is if Korac bolts even if MC offers him the 15 mil, in which case the deal swings towards Beijing, who got a couple nice pieces in Brown and Moore.

[Berlin]

By the way, this is the second head scratcher of a deal for Beijing in two sims. I guess this is why we don't vote for GMOTY at the beginning of the year, cause they had my vote in the preseason, but now not so much...

I like Paolo.

He just doesn't get a chance to play.

[Berlin]

He needs a trade...but I don't know what the trade value is for an overpaid, overhyped SG/SF making $15 mil a year

mc all the way here

[San Antonio]

Gotta go with MC.

I didn't vote because there wasn't a LONDON option (since, you know, I have Aoshen 18 )
