As GM of the Thunder, I accept this trade. My reason for doing this is simple, I want to win the title this season. With a frontcourt of Shaq and Dirk I have a damn good chance.

The downside to this trade for me is financially. I am dealing 3 exprings for Shaq's monster contract. The pick is in there to sort of cancel that out.

[Los Angeles Lakers]

I accept, I know this is a HUGE GAMBLE, but I have no problem giving up Shaq, he was below avg. for me last year, and the only GAMBLE for me is the pick, but as long as I have Kobe and AI my team is not gonna be 10-72, more likely 32-50.

not only do I get expiring contracts, but Wilcox is a SOLID PF, and if anything I now have the option to do a trade to get a younger cheaper much more effective PF/C, with having trade baits Anthony Parker, Drew Gooden, Chris Wilcox, AND Donyell Marshall.

and for the FIRST TIME, I might actually have depth on the bench with Parker, Marshall, Williams, and Hadadi.

[Philadelphia 76ers]

I'll accept this trade, Shaq's rating is only gonna go down but he's still one of the top centers sim wise. Although this trade kills OKC cap (no cap to re-sign Miller?) he gets a major boost this season. He also gets LAL's first rounder which could potentially be lotto.

LAL gets a bunch of expirings and depth. Wilcox is gonna be the main big in OKC so his numbers should stay the same if not higher.

[Utah Jazz]

I accept. Both are experienced GM's, LAL gets back a younger PF, Parker, and clears a whole lot of cap space for Shaq, who's retiring in 2 years. Seattle is looking to destroy everyone else's frontcourt, makes sense.

[Orlando Magic]

I accept but I think that Shaq is FAR overrated at a boosted 88.

[Detroit Pistons]

OKC is taking a gamble, but a Dirk/Shaq front-court is SICK

I accept

[Los Angeles Clippers]

I accept this also. Trade is approved, update all charts ASAP.
