I accept. I have been really looking forward to using these 2017 1sts in this loaded draft, but things have been falling together nicely for my team so the opportunity of adding a great player in our weakest area is the main reason for this trade.

In all seriousness, I want to wish Kyle the best of luck and am glad I could find him a great home where he could shine. there is only one ball in the game and it was hard for Kyle to get his touches with the likes of KD, lebron, kawhi, crabbe and JJ on this team.
I plan on starting lebron at the point and starting two bigs in addition to lebron and KD.
excited to see what youth we can bring in this off season as well.

Interesting trade, but I don't think it really harms either franchise. Perhaps PHX can put together a run in the playoffs this year and next, pick 7-10 in this year draft isn't THAT much to give up for that chance.
I accept.

Reject, Lowry is on a cheap deal and Seatle is a clear favorite for the championship. Why would the Sonics take what comes out as the 10th pick in the draft for Lowry.

Seattle might be the one franchise where they could trade their most valuable asset for literally nothing and still have that trade be passed because it isn't "franchise ruining" :) |

The best team would never give up its top 4 player for a pick. especially a team right behind him in terms of contention |

I guess my only question before accepting would be, is it actually allowed to make LeBron the full time PG rather than just an occasional ball-handler? |

ideally I would like him to be the point forward, as in playing pg on offense and PF on defense but the sim wouldn't allow for something like that

I guess my only question before accepting would be, is it actually allowed to make LeBron the full time PG rather than just an occasional ball-handler? I think it's alright, because I think it's realistic enough especially in today's NBA. Would I let a team start Asik at PG? No. But it's 2017, and Giannis is playing point guard and primary ball handler. I feel like it's just a system difference and not a skill difference in LBJ holding the same role. Tldr; if it's semi realistic with logical arguments to support it, I'll let it slide. LeBron is one of those players that could easily play PG in real life even though he doesn't. This situation is somewhat unique to players like LeBron. Would you have a problem with Ben Simmons at PG if Philly decided to scrap the idea and play him at SF jnstead? |

John just might know his team better than all of us. if he believes that there wouldn't be a huge difference sans-Lowry (or thinks he can still have decent odds at winning the title without Lowry), this would be a good move for his franchise.
The price for Lowry is pretty fair - the Sacremento 1st is projected to be a top 10 pick. The general consensus among draft analysts is that a top 10 pick this year could be a top 3 pick (or better) any other year. i accept

he best team would never give up its top 4 player for a pick. especially a team right behind him in terms of contention Yeah.. this makes this really weird. It's not like Seattle isn't still a contender, but giving a another top 3 team in same conference a borderline all NBA player for just picks is just not that realistic. I think there are already 5 accepts, but I would accept also. Nothing against making the contenders more even in talent. |

Also, Kyle Lowry is 30. This may be a good time to trade him to a team trying to go all-in this year or next. |
