Re: What are your 2K20 MyLeague/MyGM plans?
Right now I'm thinking Nuggets. I love the future of their team with Jokic, Murray, Porter Jr., and Bol. But I also want to win now, so what I plan on doing is bringing in vets that I think will fit that team well and can push it even closer into the realm of serious championship contenders. In particular I'm eyeing Chris Paul and Kevin Love. I'm also thinking about pursuing young role players who will fit around my young stars, and who would still be able to contribute to a team trying to win now.
Here are the parameters of 4 trades (or two 3-team trades) that will work financially, and I'll probably just have to make small tweaks to make them work:
Trade 1 (OKC)
Gary Harris and Mason Plumlee for Chris Paul.
The Thunder get off of that massive contract in exchange for a young wing and an expiring contract. The Nuggets get to pair Paul with Jokic in the pick and roll/pop, as well as allow Jamal Murray to slide over to shooting guard and focus mainly on scoring the basketball.
Trade 2 (CLE)
Paul Millsap for Kevin Love.
The Cavs get the expiring contract of Millsap, and still retain a vet to help their young guys grow. The Nuggets get another lethal pick and roll/pop big to pair with Chris Paul/Jamal Murray, and who can space the floor a little better than Millsap.
Trade 3 (76ers)
Will Barton, Malik Beasley, and Monte Morris for Josh Richardson, Zhaire Smith, and Matisse Thybulle.
The 76ers upgrade their shooting around Simmons/Embiid, and solve their backup point guard question with Monte Morris. The Nuggets add more defensive studs to put around their young, talented scorers.
Trade 4 (CHC)
Jerami Grant for Kris Dunn.
The Bulls get a big with a skill set that pairs really well alongside Markkanen and Carter Jr. The Nuggets lock up their backup point guard spot with a defensive monster who can keep Chris Paul fresh.
Starters

SG - Jamal Murray

PF - Kevin Love
C - Nikola Jokic
