Nets - Wizards

[Brooklyn Nets (Andre)]

Nets trade: 
Ricky Rubio (12 - 12 - 12 - 12 - 12)
    0.55M paid 
Corey Kispert (2 - 2.09 - 3.55)
MIL 2024 1st 

Wizards trade: 
Mike Conley (12.18)

Accept.

[Washington Wizards (octstuff)]

Accept:

Young player and 1st for the guy who could not be in the league in next 2 years fits my team. Rubio could be trade bait later on.

[New York Knicks (jsood)]

Approve. Love this for Octy. This a whole lot to give up for an expiring guy 35 year old that doesn't play back to backs and might also get traded to a team and have a lesser role down the line. Kispert also seems like a real steady role player for years to come.

[Washington Wizards (octstuff)]

Will be dropping Ty Jerome.

[Blazers GM (Tyler)]

Approve.

I get why Nets made this move, but it feels like a risky proposition to give up 3 decent trade chips for a 35 year old that has played more than 60 games three times in the last eight seasons.

Here's to hoping he remains healthy because he's been really good in Utah this season.

[San Antonio Spurs (Chris)]

Pass, love for wiz but that's cuz I'm always too focused on long term stuff. Get it for nets but don't like it, think Conley is in a better place injury wise despite his age, but I'd still expect a real life trade that'll most likely result in an even lesser playing time role too, so... Yeah, don't love it, but pass

[Washington Wizards (octstuff)]

Now i need explanation here. Third vote was made after daily games started and now it is saying it was 6hours ago. At that time Jazz game was already started, that means Conley was removed from my roster before approval.



Edit: Trade was executed at 6.30pm in Fantrax. That is before 3rd vote. Can anyone explain this urgency please ?

[Heat GM (Bryan)]

Well typically if there’s 2 votes. One of the LMs will go ahead and process the trade as part of their approval. There’s a lot to do day to day in order to keep the league running smooth and in this case posting the approval on proboards was just missed.
I do apologize for that.

I am confused though, If you didn’t wish to make the trade today and have it be processed then why not wait?

[Washington Wizards (octstuff)]

Ok. If that what we do for everyone, that is fine but i think we should not be doing this. I live in UK, so that is different time zone and when i went to bed trade was not approved and i set lineup with Conley in. Other point is, why we should move players after some games already started, what if one of the Brooklyn players that was traded to me already start the game ? I seriously think no trade should be processed when matchups already started, that is logical for me.

[Chicago Bulls (Charlie)]

Hey Octy,

The cavs and the wizards didn't play yesterday. So Kispert and Rubio weren't locked into lineups. Conley's game hadn't started, so he wasn't locked either. If Kispert/Rubio or Conley had a game that was already started, they wouldn't have been moved. Also, trades/FA moves process immediately here as long as they aren't locked into a current game. Just how it's always been done. I apologize for not approving your trade on the boards and then processing it. Nets just asked for the move to process, so I did it.

[Golden State Warriors (Caleb)]

Hey Octy

Must of this has been covered, but if a trade has been agreed to and it’s on its way to being approved we push it through on Fantrax. If Conley’s game had started by then we wouldn’t have pushed it through.

In the future we have no issues with you posting something along the lines “please wait to process until x day”

[Washington Wizards (octstuff)]

Well i do understand what both of you are saying but by pushing it early and after first daily games started is confusing and only benefits one team. As i said before, trade was pushed before 3rd approval and only benefited team that was receiving player that should be playing that night. Thats dodgy for me. Why not just stick to the simple rules.
