 Yo, what's good everyone Nick Smith is back. Welcome to a new episode of the Indiana Pacers my GM series we uh, we ended the last episode looking at trades and Looking at trades pretty much for the boy Monte Ellis. He's a guy that uh We we're paying him a bit. We're paying him a bit of money 10 million dollars and it just goes up and up and up and up and then he's on that 11.69 million dollar contract on a player option so he can decide if he wants to come back or not in 2018 But I don't know about I don't know about keeping Monte Ellis anymore All right, and a lot of you guys in the comment section were telling me to trade him so I got my phone out I Got my phone out right now and I was Looking at some comments that you guys That you guys wrote in the comment section about plays that you think I should get so number one I'll try and get it on the camera if I can I don't know if we'll focus, but I think it will it's a pretty good camera should be able to focus Anyway, it says trade Monte Ellis for Derrick Rose Make Derrick Rose like a play that he used to be so I can MVP type player make him have a fresh start I don't know if you can see it. Let me let me let me let me do this every Bradley I don't know if that'll focus, but uh an every Bradley trade. So let's look at some trades First off for D Rose. No, let's look at every Bradley first because every Bradley's he got a one-year contract I don't know if he is but let's take a look real quick. I don't know if the computer Why don't I don't know why it's making so much noise, but he's not even on a one-year contract. He is just He's just a player that are you guys obviously want me to get George Hill see Jen Mars Mars Turner. All right, so let's offer a trade for Monte Monte Ellis Now what would happen here? Wow? It's just not gonna happen man. It's just not like one and a half stars. That's what he's worth to the Celtics and He's worth like you can choose any team, but the bulls he's worth two stars of the bulls. So oh Man, I mean we can try going for every Bradley But it's just not gonna happen like it won't happen Let's try giving up This isn't it's not gonna happen. All right, it's not gonna happen Because I don't want to give up hold George obviously As of now, I don't want to give up the manual The man was not worth is anybody worth anything. Okay two stars for CJ miles But none of these guys are actually worth anything to the to the Celtics right now Apart from miles turn, but he's a guy that I'd like to keep so um Yeah, I don't think that there's gonna be any trades for Favoury Bradley involving Monte Ellis, unfortunately, but yeah But obviously the next guy there was actually a few trades. Oh, he's injured Damn, man My company's injured because this one that I mean he's shooting stats actually not very good He's driving laps decent and we know about his ball handling and how about his defense. It's pretty good 85 pick and roll defense, but we can't even get Mike Conley anyway So the next guy was obviously Derek Rose now Derek Rose. He's interesting because he can't shoot at all But we know about that athletic ability, but in 2k he only has an 83 layer He does have the good ball control and and his hands, but what does hands do in 2k like Does it actually do anything? I don't know about that. What I do like about D roads Obviously the speed acceleration vertical is really really high um, I reckon I reckon we try D rose out but the problem is I Can we try Derek Rose out now for all the guys that don't want me to trade Montailles for D rose I Can understand why? D rose is on a it's on a much bigger contract than Montailles The thing about D rose is that he's 27 Montailles is 30 They both can't shoot like they both have the same standing shot three I guess Montailles has a 77 mid-range D Rose has it has only a 66 But Derek Rose makes up for it with his you know athleticism and his speed And Obviously they play different positions But I just don't want this contract by Montailles for three years and on a player option Whereas D rose he's on it. He's on a two-year contract and We can trade him if we don't like him Whereas with Montailles, we don't get as much back for Montailles as we would get with Derek Rose So that's pretty much the rundown on what I want to do But I still don't even know if we can make a trade go through because of the contract situation But let's say we will take Why not why don't we just get? Like just one of those guys that isn't worth anything, right? We will give you la voyale and And Mike Miller so we can free up some cat space a little bit of cat space right here As you can see a lot of our players don't have a lot of cat a lot of As a big salary that's what I'm trying to say So we have obviously pulled George on a pretty big salary Kenneth for what he does a pretty big salary, but I it's all it's okay. I guess George here like George you'll have to probably be Do you run George your backup like I think that's what we're gonna have to do But I guess we'll have to see what happens even if we can get this trade to go through We'll take Tony Snell and So then after that will give you two second round picks. What do you say to this? Wow? The trades gone through That's crazy to me, but Trades gone through man. We got D roads. He's an Indiana Pacer. It's a fresh start as the guy said in the comments Fresh stuff for Derek Rose teaming him up with Paul George and Kenneth Farid It's it's a trade I am willing to have and it moves George Hill to the backup point guard position You know, it's gonna be exciting playing with Derek Rose D rose is a definitely a good starter now We're gonna have to see how he plays and what he stat line is like and and how he plays are you know on the simulation side of things because Yeah, now I kind of want to improve the team chemistry a little bit It's it's not like a 61. I think 62 team chemistry So you can expect a few games that we're gonna lose Um But I know that we just got rid of a power forward that does mean that we can run Danny Grange at the powerful position now Let's just play the play the Detroit Pistons and let's see if we can get some wins. We're actually looking all right We've got two games in a row And of course we get into some Some pause It always happens man, I just try and simulate a few games and then it has to pause. All right Scanning is looking okay, but you know, I I'm not really too keen on the scanning at the moment. We actually know we do have a good pick Yeah, we have a pretty good pick. How wait, I got us. I got it. We got three wins in a row four wins in a row and Kenneth Farid is happy Okay, man. I'm happy. I adjusted the training as well to team chemistry I think I think having good team chemistry makes a huge difference in my GM Hey, I want to let you know that the game against the Nuggets really made me feel good about being here now I'm thrilled to be a member of this team cuddle the player. He goes up to a hundred morale. Let's go man Let's go and I can't even see to my headphones are in the way We get a win up against Denver as well. I'm gonna move these I got some new headphones, but like a headset thing, but I don't really I'm not gonna wear that and And Yeah, I might wear it for editing. I think but We we're winning games now five in a row this Derek Rose trade people. It's the Derek Rose trade I'm telling you my tailors. He wasn't winning us get now. I'm gonna see Derek Rosa stats. Okay. I gotta force Okay, let's pause this right now Miles Turner. Yeah, okay. I actually got a chance that because I made his training very very high Um Miles Turner. Yeah, you're gonna go down to a medium because you're exhausted right now But for those that don't know because well, you don't know because I haven't told anyone this but I'm going away For about four days So I gotta make four videos to schedule for the for the four days that I'm away. So For whatever you guys post in the comment section. I won't be able to like No Like I'll read the comments, but I won't be able to change it up on 2k So like if you comment change someone's number in this episode I won't it won't be changed for the next four episodes because I'm not playing 2k I've already played the games and stuff and we are winning games right now at 28 and 18 Paul George is happy with his teammates. This Derek Rose trade made us a whole ton better And it's also because I increased the team chemistry called of the player Wow You only went up one. I coddled you bro. Maybe he's not a coddle type of guy Maybe doesn't like to coddle him But yeah, I kind of want to play up against it up against the pistons. We lose the nuggets I I'm getting I'm guessing we're gonna lose to the cats, but what I'm gonna do in The next much in episode you're gonna see a game up against the pistons then you're gonna see a Oh, actually I gotta show you something. I've got to show you something real real quick really really quick Because I'll just deal with this really really quick as well actually I'll scout Demetrius Jackson and all these guys right here. Don't even know how to say this guy's name I'm not gonna lie Yeah, I'll scout you. All right now I wanted to show you guys On the straw pole on what you guys voted for Because Tony Allen, you know, he locked up a lot of people to be Brian said that's the hardest defender he ever had to play up against But I wanted to show you guys the straw pole right here So Here you go this I don't know if you guys can tell I hope you guys can but pretty much You guys were saying that You would like me to make a new team brand But we stay in Indiana and pretty much we make new team jerseys new a new court and all this good stuff And I promise for all the guys that Had a telling me make it a little bit better than agents. I'll show my best man I don't think it'll be too hard bang bang shots fire right there, but uh now me me and agent We're cool man. We mean agent. We talk each other and I'm not gonna lie He's jerseys. They're nice They're not great though But um nah, I'm I like agent agent so if you guys don't know agent zero great much a meet you but check him out But um, I want to simulate right now. Come on. Why why just take so long like I literally spent about 20 minutes Just simulating this thing right now. I just want to go I wish it would just go quickly like you just simulate bang simulate bang simulate bang not just simulate screen Thing diet date Isaac Davis assistant GM telling you a bunch of bullshit like I don't care Isaac Davis and Me and agent we were talking about my GM the other day as well and I was saying, you know He was saying I was just saying like what what what do you think about my GM?

I'm gonna test out D Rose up against the Pistons then after that we're gonna do a rebrand video where we make some new jerseys just before the all-star break, which should be quite good and Everyone seems pretty good.
