Title: Kings Resign Post by: KingsGM-old2 on February 06, 2008, 05:46:15 PM Sorry guys... I actually have no more time since I have a gigantic load of midterms coming up next week with four major tests plus i get home at 7 everyday and I am so tired I fall asleep by 10 through all of the activity and tiredness... I am really sorry but I cant have a team and not be active because that makes it boring for the rest of the league... if i have more time, I will try to come back...

Title: Re: Kings Resign Post by: HornetsGM on February 06, 2008, 09:22:30 PM well that was quick
Title: Re: Kings Resign Post by: NetsGM on February 06, 2008, 09:29:02 PM Truth is it doesn't take too long to grossly overpay two guys, then close the door.
Title: Re: Kings Resign Post by: SonicsGM on February 06, 2008, 09:30:41 PM Nice...kill a team that is already dead by signing two awful contracts, then bolt after hearing a bit of criticism.
Where's Ivan?????? Title: Re: Kings Resign Post by: GrizzliesGM on February 06, 2008, 09:45:01 PM Nice...kill a team that is already dead by signing two awful contracts, then bolt after hearing a bit of criticism. Where's Ivan?????? The Scott signing isn't bad. But the Bailey signing sure is awful :D Title: Re: Kings Resign Post by: HornetsGM on February 06, 2008, 09:51:06 PM I'd say the opposite -- they're both bad, but the Scott signing is really bad... the Bailey signing I could live with. The idea of paying a 31 year old Byron Scott $19.162.500 is nauseating. Hopefully someone will buy it out so none of us have to experience seeing that. :)

The idea of paying a 31 year old Byron Scott $19.162.500 is nauseating. Hopefully someone will buy it out so none of us have to experience seeing that. :) I highly doubt he will have started his decline at 30 years of age (I say 30 because you are implying his ratings will be average at 31). Title: Re: Kings Resign Post by: SonicsGM on February 06, 2008, 10:31:51 PM His ratings are average right now....
Yes, he has A-rated defense, but so did Michael Schader, and see how many teams traded that guy (and he was only paid $8 million a year) Title: Re: Kings Resign Post by: HornetsGM on February 06, 2008, 10:44:11 PM yeah, what the Sonics said. I'm pretty sure he'll always be average too, even when he's paid $19 mil/year.
Thurl at least can block a few shots and almost averaged 10/10 last season. Title: Re: Kings Resign Post by: RaptorsGM on February 07, 2008, 01:39:26 AM His ratings are average right now.... Yes, he has A-rated defense, but so did Michael Schader, and see how many teams traded that guy (and he was only paid $8 million a year) for the record Schader is currently 29 and a BB+ offensive player and A defender. I'd pay 8 for that any day for a team already over the cap. Title: Re: Kings Resign Post by: SonicsGM on February 07, 2008, 02:07:41 AM His ratings are average right now....

I'd pay 8 for that any day for a team already over the cap. But you wouldn't pay $19 million. Schader has value, and I think Scott has less value than him. I think a nice 4 year deal starting at 5 or 6 million fits what Byron Scott would give you...not a deal that finishes at almost 20 million. Title: Re: Kings Resign Post by: WizardsGM on February 07, 2008, 02:52:02 AM resigning on your 5th post has to be a record, right?
Title: Re: Kings Resign Post by: CelticsGM on February 07, 2008, 05:28:32 AM at least he has enough character in him to quickly call it a day ... and not silently vanish forever.
As for the signings, I've seen a lot of worse contracts handed to worse players. Man, i'd love to take care of that "problem" Title: Re: Kings Resign Post by: PacersGM on February 07, 2008, 06:23:55 AM well i should have left this team on cpu control. the cpu had some good offers out there.
i wish Ivan would come back at least he was really active in every possible way. Title: Re: Kings Resign Post by: SpursGM-old on February 07, 2008, 07:22:16 AM I'll take the Bailey contract off the Kings' hands...I wouldn't want to burden our search for a new GM. :D
10 boards, 2.5 blocks and a steal from one of my big men would be great. I used both of the exemptions looking for someone like that. For a guy that averages only 8 shot attempts a game I don't worry about shooting %...that isn't his job. But he does get to the line once for about every 3 fga...and shoots respectable % from the line. Scott's contract should be voided...or at the very least cut down to 4 years. That is a hamstring contract...it will hamstring any attempts at getting the Kings financial picture under controll. Title: Re: Kings Resign Post by: CelticsGM on February 07, 2008, 08:05:10 AM i take Scott. no problem whatsoever
