I came here to say the same thing! I live in the metro Detroit area and everyone is super high on Duren. Many radios and beats writers have listen him, Cade, and Ivey as untouchables.
yeah i was about to write the same thing. Duren Ivey and Cade are untouchable for sure. Monty misused Ivey so much. Zubac going to detroit is probably the most unrealistic trade he's ever done
Since Paul george was really not good in the playoffs, I even think we might slightly improve. Not with superstar caliber but with several role players who are very strong. You have to see who can replace the scoring. Would be great if Terence Mann takes more shots, he still has what it takes when you think about the Utah playoff game.
Nice vid! Is the Charlotte rebuild next? They are the feel good story of the offseason! Bad franchise turning themselves around! (currently 4-0 in the summer league)
I mean the Clippers did give a lottttttt to get PG soo🤷🏽♂️ To be fair I think the Clippers did the best they could to sign some dudes to replace losing PG for nothing But I don’t think they’d be a threat in the west anytime soon and that just helps the thunder in the next draft where it’s pretty stacked with talent
When i saw you make that Zubac trade for Duren I thought of feature that would be an improvement in 2k my gm: when you make a trade off, this automatically creates a "trade market..." therefore other teams (teams that would also find value in Duren - or Zubac) also put together trade packages. Depending on who is being offered and needs of other teams - this would generate multiple offers (sometimes many / sometimes very few). But then (similar to free agency where you can view "other offers") you would be able to see which packages are valued most (by the team you're trying to deal with) - giving you a chance to up your offer or bail out....2k desperately needs new ideas to make this game mode more realistic and more fun to play...
The Clippers should trade Kevin Porter Jr, Jordan Miller, Terance Mann, Mo Bamba, Ivica Zubac, to the Blazers for Anfernee Simmions, Matisse Thybulle, Jerami Grant, Robert Williams, DeAndre Ayton Trade Brandon Boston Jr, Amir Coffey, Moussa Diabate, to the Raptors for Bruce Brown Jr, Garrett Temple Trade Nah'Shon Hyland, Cam Christie, Kai Jones, Kobe Brown, to the Nets for Dennis Schroeder, Cam Thomas, Dorian Finney-Smith, Bojan Bogdanovic Trade Nicolas Batum to the Spurs for Harrison Barnes I know this ain't 2k but if the Clippers won't to continue to compete for an championship pay & trade players go all in
u should put the progression to 100 and regression to 0 i swear it sounds unrealistic but its actually accurate and the superstars dont fall off so fast as hard
Clippers actually get their first round pick if they finish above the rockets this season and at worst they get the OKC pick. Please check out all the pick protections as you go, going forward for realism! Cheers
I mean you guys did sign some good role players to replace losing PG but it all depends on Klaw being healthy and history shows that he’s never unfortunately… and I don’t trust Harden to solo carry this team by himself ESP in playoffs.
@@LouisVirigl12 I agree but looking at Kawhi demeanor since PG left this will officially be the first time in his career besides maybe the 2016-17 Spurs he's the real head honcho and now he has a onslaught of defense to help now he can focus on learning more off ball and playing off Harden and Zu which he should've been doing. Also TMann this has to be his coming out year or he's gonna get cooked.
I think the clippers will be a play in team for alot of years to come. James harden and kawhi are getting old, and the thunder have alot of the clippers picks.
Throw Kawhi to OKC, get Topic and your picks back, maaaaybbbeee Lu Dort back for salary. OKC is basically the west team that will make the finals and you can rebuild peacefully with your picks back. Maybw throw Dort to Philly for your 2027 pick back also.
How? They don’t have their picks and they don’t have any high ceiling young players on their roster. What other team is as depleted of both picks and young talent as LA?
@@IceBKN1 If all you care about draft picks, then sure. The team is poised to have max space for 2 guys in 2026 or 2027. They're in LA, and they have an owner willing to do whatever it takes to win. It's not as bleak as it seems.
Bro… how can you say you wanna make this realistic than say the pistons would trade a 19 year center that they are head over heels for? Not to mention for an old expiring center. They wanna move Stewart and grow Duren. Duren, Ivey, and Cade aren’t leaving Detroit anytime soon.
bruh thats what I'm sayin. kpj, batum, djj, kris dunn are all great role players. I'd rather have them than pg who was bad for like 25+games in a row and had a horrible playoff.
