I accept. This balances my lineup better as I'm very deep in the post. Not sure how this will turn out though. If I get Indiana Lance then it'll will be great. If I get Charlotte Lance then at least I'll have that near 10 million expiring contract to deal. Either way I'll be sure not to put Lance's locker next to Josh Smith's locker.

HUH? Giving up on Stephenson before he has time in his new role at LAC? Did you do this move solely to clear ~$1.7mil in cap? Seems like a drop in the bucket when you’re already working with 48 million.

Why do teams keep giving Denver stuff? Because Alex is "The One True King". |

Srsly what the hell Josh? How can you give up on your beloved bad boy?! Because he is in a rush for cap space. About Alex getting a good deal which he probably did, GMs need to understand that it is a good business to go over the cap and start making "favors" for teams that want extra cap space. After all, it will take a while for the hard cap to go under 220% or 210% or whatever which to me is massive. |

Speights is on a great contract, has some of the best per36 stats and PER in the league, and is going to be a free agent next summer in real life (i.e. he is going to go to a situation where he will get to play). I have 0 big men on my roster, and Lance is still somewhat of an unknown. I still love him, but this move makes sense for my team.

Giving up too early on Lance, he is with a new team.

This trade is perplexing.
If bet Josh is regretting trade Tyreke for Lance? I don't know, I would.
I don't think Josh is doing it for cap reasons, but he may be. I feel like the whole thing he said about Speights is just bs and he wants to move Lance to try to promise a SG spot to Bledsoe, Wes, or Khris. That's what I would do.

I almost want to reject solely for the purpose of making Barber stick with Lance. He skirted the system and got a damn rule named after Lance and his shenanigans, then changed teams which has never been done while a GM was active in the league (as far as I know) and then traded for Lance so he still had his guy.
He should really keep him forever and ever at contracts that are much too large.
But, I'm not THAT petty. Smart move here by Barber getting rid of a mental headcase. Alex, smart move by balancing his roster and taking a flyer on upside of Lance, but I wouldn't touch that guy. But, Alex has the freedom with his ridiculous cap so, sure why not.
Accept.

In other words, we need a hard cap ASAP as Alex keeps abusing it. |

I don't blame him either. He isn't doing anything I wouldn't do if I were him. Its just obviously disadvantageous to the rest of the league that this happens and it needs to be fixed. He has a huge advantage. |

I accept, but I am forming a break-away sect which still follows Josh as God. Maybe not THE God, but certainly A God.
