DAL - MIN Trade

[Suns GM (Roberto)]

Sorry, i admit that the 2 first paragraphs were my way of saying that i don't agree with the "plan", because it seems to be another tank job. But that comment really doesn't belong in the TC, so I'll try to refrain myself from now on.

Beeing objective, what i was trying to say was:

2015 GSW 1st = 2015 DAL 1st (2014/15 - Pac-NoW SoW-SoE)
2014 ORL 1st(#19) + Ed Davis for nothing = veto

Royce, i don't think that this is a fair trade, but i agree with you when you say it doesn't change the balance of the league. However, nobody told me that was the only reason to veto a trade when i was invited to the TC.

[Thunder GM (Tiago)]

Just a quick note explanation also.

I don't believe that 2015 GSW 1st = 2015 DAL 1st at all, IF it's DAL that's receiving the pick. That's my main reason for approving this trade.

I actually believe that owning their first is one of the most important assets one could have because it opens a lot of options. Maybe DAL can compete, but if midseason he sees that he can't, he can do lots of trades or moves in order to gain value for next year, and at the same time he pushes his own pick up in the draft.

Even without tanking...

Suns, I agree that we want to try to keep tanking to a minimum if at all possible so I see where you're coming from. But I'm in the same boat as Tiago in the options this opens up for Mavs. I can see where you're coming from, but I just want to make sure we're not vetoing because we disagree with the plan. And I know you didn't mean it that way.

And you're right, that isn't the only reason. That's just my reason for approving this one.

Now let's get back to the voting.

I'm not TC but I have to disagree in the statement "2015 1st DAL = 2015 1st GSW"
