Title: Raptors / Celtics trade Post by: CelticsGM on July 11, 2005, 09:59:45 AM Celtics trade
Magic 08 2nd Raptors trade Advice: Take up euchre. It's a fast-paced, exciting game known by many world wide. So many options to score points including making trump and getting 3 tricks for 1 point, euchring the other team by getting 3 tricks off their make for 2 points, and "going alone" and getting all 5 tricks for 4 points!! First to 10 wins, takes 4 to play. Celtics don't ask for anything, so whatever the Raptors feel they should give the last place team as a startup aid (so probably the advice, to look for a hobby I'm more talented in ?) Title: Raptors / Celtics trade Post by: RaptorsGM on July 11, 2005, 10:20:09 AM Raptors accept, and jump at the chance to recieve another 2nd round pick.
Also, Raptors, feeling bad for what a horrible team the Celtics have, promise to offer one of: Tskalidis (on roster now), or whoever I take with the 24th, 27th or 29th pick. This will occur after TC, and will of course be dependent on the Celtics maintaining their cap space and having an open roster spot. Sound good to you Celtics? I'll offer you one of my guys, and if you like him better than some guy you have on your team, you can cut your guy and take my guy. That's pretty well all I can offer you, as the only other thing I could trade you would be the Nets pick next year, and I don't want to do that just yet.

This sound quite fair although I have no idea what you are talking about with that "horrible team" reference. I do have a very young and inexperienced team but if you think it's horrible feel prepared for a surprise ... Title: Raptors / Celtics trade Post by: RaptorsGM on July 11, 2005, 10:24:33 AM When I said horrible team, I looked at 2 things:
1. What you were given to start with 2. Your historical team performance Title: Raptors / Celtics trade Post by: CelticsGM on July 11, 2005, 10:34:27 AM I agree I have a horrible record and I'm still way behind putting a team on the hardwood capable of winning constantly. But some of this record was housemade - as in experimenting with lineups and giving every one a chance to show his skills (thus hardly anyone played more than 20-25 minutes adn not a single player started all games).
Some of these decisions do not work in my favour now as well since the pure stats of player do not reflect their skills at certain positions and in starting / backup roles, thus hurting their trade value. |
