Or in simple terms...tonight's sim. :wink: Title: Raptors - Spurs trade Post by: RaptorsGM on April 05, 2006, 02:48:01 PM Well, after tonight's sim :P
Title: Raptors - Spurs trade Post by: RaptorsGM on April 05, 2006, 02:58:26 PM Why for the Raps?
Hard to say. Don't really need Gasol's scoring anymore with the top 2 scorers clearly defined and the other player's abilities to step up -Swift and Chills can both drop 20 on a given night. The pick is looking good, really good. Even though it's 2 years away, the Spurs don't have much to build on. I think that's a top 5 pick.

I posted this immediately because I thought it would be processed tonight. You never gave any indication that you wanted to wait. Title: Raptors - Spurs trade Post by: RaptorsGM on April 05, 2006, 03:00:51 PM Oh, so this can go through now? I guess I forgot that it is currently day 41 and not day 40.
Yes, I am fine with this going through now. Title: Raptors - Spurs trade Post by: CelticsGM on April 05, 2006, 03:01:42 PM wow, the Spurs do a flip-flop on their team again and go from the young starters Johnny-Kim and "vet" JRich to real vets Magloire-Gasol and Del Negro-Ellis, who underachieved some so far.
I like those moves, as the young guys alone took them nowhere really. Now the Raptors have that "problem", ´but giving up to backups for young big men can't be completely wrong. One or two among Swift-Garcia-Kim and Johnny will hopefully improve, but for now their backcourt will have to carry them even more ... Title: Raptors - Spurs trade Post by: RaptorsGM on April 05, 2006, 03:03:55 PM Looking at the Warriors as a template for success, I decided I could go for the 2 double-double threats up front, with the much stronger backcourt.
This trade banks completely in the 2016 first. Title: Raptors - Spurs trade Post by: SpursGM-old on April 05, 2006, 03:10:26 PM Duncan-Hoiberg-Kim was a young group of big men that all hover around 12/9. However they couldn't stop a cripple from running past them for a layup. Hopefully Gasol/Magloire will shore up my interior defense.
Ellis basically replaces Parker...a little less handles but a little more defense. But as a backup to Uner & Snyder at the guard positions he will fit in nicely. JDN will compete with Pietrus for the starting SF spot. Hopefully with my heavy early schedule I still have enough games left to make a push for the playoffs. |
