London Towers Send
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
Byron Scott
Wes Matthews
2025 Towers First Round Pick
Buenos Aires Boca Juniors Send
Michael Jordan
Bill Walton
Sean Elliot
- Noticed no one put up Trade Comment threads for the big moves that happened today so i'm taking care of that. I haven't voted yet but i'm leaning towards London by a bit or even. KAJ > Walton and Jordan > Scott but I don't think the gap in potential is as large as some people think.
Thoughts? |

I'm going to say this as Bill Walton's biggest fan: when John texted me to say "hey, should I do this?" I gave no reason. I just said YES. Bill Walton is not as good as KAJ but is way more versatile, and jesus fucking christ JORDAN is already nearly an All World player.
So what I'm saying is this: JESUS FUCKING CHRIST JORDAN. Why did ANYONE allow for John to get him? AND get Bill Walton AT THE SAME TIME.
Fuck me. I've got to try to beat Bill Walton in the Finals. Thanks for adding a sweet narrative to the playoffs, you assholes.

So for me, this means that instead of facing KAJ/Monroe, if/when i fight my way back to the conference finals, I will face MJ/Walton.... Is it weird that I'm more comfortable with that this season?

Neither MJ or Walton are up to Monroe or KAJ's status yet. Walton is elite but MJ has a lot of growing to do before he takes over Earl's throne. EDIT: London by a little  |

If Walton was THAT good, why did u describe him as a sometimes meh third best player on your team? Also barring any tc screwup, you guys are sleeping on Scott...Hes not MJ, but he is/could be good enough to offset the difference. Overall trading MJ/WALTON/picks for Gus/Scott/Kaj, Im fine with it...And Corey I cant wait to meet you in the playoffs |

Like it for London but totally get why this makes sense for Buenos Aires. They are clearly gonna make a run at the Conference title but there are some heavyweights waiting for them in Seattle, Harlem etc. YOUR WELCOME FOR THE MENTION COREY |

I'd have liked this more if I believed in Scott more then I do, but then I saw he's gone. I would have thought something based around Jordan/KAJ would be fair, adding Walton seemed crazy to me, but what do I know. I only have 1 championship...

London by a lot... no need to go further. Got MJ and a stud in Walton for KAJ. Nice job.

I still don't understand how Belgrade didn't think he was a significant player.

He jumped in training camp Pre, yeah he had quite the TC in London Aside of the A inside potential its not much different then how Presti (my scout) saw him when we were talking trade. But I agree with KK a little. He hasn't put up Monroe-like numbers yet. Looks the part though. |
