I'll leave the analysis for others...

Tom Chamberlain FTW: http://rosters.ssbabasketball.com/players/player366.htm

Future HOF, I'd say.

Nets - for the first time in a long time, maybe ever - had a nice looking TC. Cummings dropped like a stone in enough ways that he drops to bench duty, and Zollner's D took a hit, but....

Big Ed improved his DEF and IN, and is this years likely starter. Timmy improved nicely, D and HAN I think....looking deadly if he can tone down the TO's. 'Spoon improved his IN back to B+ and is now an A defender - he'll start now I'd imagine. Byron stayed the same. Guards all have lockdown potential - 4 A's among them, and Pressley/Bradley can handle some 3. Bit concerned with big depth with Zollner/Cummings taking modest hits, but we should be able to make some noise. Nice.

Lol @ my TC. :lmao:

Chris Paul is a god, and with MAR's defense improving my backcourt is set for years.
Now if only I had more than three frontcourt players...

Well, not a terrible TC for the Jazz.  Not stellar, but, both my rookies improved which was nice.  I --may-- have the strongest pair of pgs in the league right now in Felton and Azario.  MLE signing Gregory Azario gives me a B+ defense from the center position.  Unsure if he can get any minutes or not, but, I'm hoping he does well in preseason.

Factoid:  Felton is exactly -1 from Chris Paul in every catagory except Potential where he is +1.  So, if Paul is God, Felton has to be some sort of minor diety. 

I tried to move Felton for Deron Williams prior to TC and was shot down.  I think sometimes the trades I don't makes are the best ones.

Fellas, even my 3rd string PG is looking decent.  I've got way too much talent locked up in the PG position.  I know I'm asking an arm and a leg for Felton and Azario (and I think both are worth that), but, maybe I could interest someone in a Craig Kerr?  He's improved pretty drastically in both TCs so far, even if his scouted potential is poor he is shooting up the ranks.  I think he could be a good backup PG for someone out there.

Awesome rookiesss

Nothing major for the Sonics, which is welcome.

I guess the biggest complaint would be that Welp dropped a rebounding rating, but that's nit-picking.

Albert King is back from the dead!!!

From:
Albert King SF 29 6'6'' 190 C+ B+ D B+ C D

To:
Albert King SF 29 6'6'' 190 B- A- D B+ C D

Dude will see some pminutes this year!

MJ improved his defense and is now A- B+ B+ A C+ C

22nd pick of the first round could be useful but lost defense:

Marvin DeBusschere B C D C+ B- F

Overall I'm happy. Especially since Natt, Tarpley and McHale held their decline!

Ervin is kinky now, he can shoot some now + his rebs went from B to A-, and he's still 4bpg.

unfortunately thats about it, GG improved slightly, the rest remained same it seems, - we have one less scoring option now so we should suck and land TOP 3 pick.

....and looking at that mottola bombolla guy makes me throw up, my only cpu pick in all leagues in couple of years, and it had to be worst ever cpu pick, damn.

Nothing major ... but lots of minor stuff, like your whole team (post-DAL-trade) improving in ONE rating (Ehlo's handles) and going down in SEVENTEEN ratings (including 7 potentials). But true, your starters mostly stayed pat, at least in the lettered ratings.

What does that mean?

Well, you probably won't win 70 games ... and might not go 15-0 in the playoffs ... again (for those who remember the miracle season)
8)

True, lots of "minor" rating changes, but nothing in the "major" areas. 

And yes, 2009 was a miracle...but it was 16-0, not 15-0!

The Sixers entered the TC with high hopes. Especially with the addition of rookie Danny Granger who had Sixers' scouts hyping because of his almost "perfect" true potential. But like their previous predecessors in the Sixers franchise, they seems to have a hard time materializing their tantamount potential. Like they say, potential unrealized is as good as nothing.

There were a few players that showed some strides in this year's TC. Sixers' defensive frontcourt of Chuck Murray and Trey Wooten have improved their game. Chuck Murray improved at the department that SixersGM has been stressing, which is his rebounding. His A defense and B rebounding shall finally secure him the starting C position, despite the signing of two solid shot blocking big men in Joel Przybilla and Herb Williams.

Last year's 2nd all defensive team member, Trey Wooten, improved his outside scoring. With the team's outside oriented offense, this shall work well with Trey Wooten and we might see an increase in his scoring production this year. This also has the Sixers' coaching staff thinking whether they should put Wooten, instead of Karl Malone at the third option on their offense.

Last year's prized rookie, Jamal Mashburn, has improved his offensive game. The news is that the Sixers might bump him as their no.1 option on offense this season. His offensive skills and size shall pose a huge problem for opposing SGs.

Lastly, the two veterans in the Sixers squad, Rod Strickland and Karl Malone, have maintain their very good ratings this offseason. Rod Strickland, who has been a phenom in TCs for the last four years has not shown any improvement this season. This has got the fans wondering if maybe the extention he got with his contract has changed his work ethic. But as last year's 3rd all nba team member, Rod Strickland said during the press interview "let my game speak for itself."

*After the TC, there were some circulating rumors about Karl Malone as the odd man in the Sixers' roster. With the addition of Granger, Malone's days as Sixers' starting SF might soon end before the all-star break.

*Sixers coach's favorite, Drazen Petrovic, will start for the Sixers' in preseason one. Sixers' coaching staff has been contemplating about a possible Rod-Drazen-Jamal at the starting 1,2, and 3 positions.
