Training Camp

[PacersGM]

can´t complain about my TC.
I was worried that either fisher or dikembe will decline but both stayed at their level
exept for artest everybody went at least one up
JO one in rebounds, foster in defense ...
biggest surprise Benjamin Piatkowski he is now my best ballhandler..
maybe he will play some point as seen last year by stewart..
jamison even went up in pot and iggy and kim stayed at A pot..

i am really surprised about some TC this year draft had but mercer was a realbad surprise F pot???

[Str8westcoasta]

My season is screwed what a jip!

Boozer lost inside.
Gooden lost inside (although gained rebounding)
Finley lost defense AND inside
Bonzi lost inside
Ellis lost inside, outside but gained defense
Summitt gained outside but lost potential

Oh well, lotto it is.

[KingsGM-old]

very very unlogic, webber's defense up from B+ to A-, but i sucked at bibby who got down on defense from A- to B+, boby jackson also is now B+...
also kevin stankovic improves on defense and now is B+ and just when i thought i got a steal in piatkowski in free agency who was A- outside and B- defense, he's now B+ outside and C+ defense...this is just terrible. before TC my whole team had no one below B- on defense and now it's just disaster. i gain alot on offense but sucked big time on defensive end.

this is a major dissapointment...

[RaptorsGM]

Worst. TC. Ever.

Yao exploded. +1 defense, +1 rebounding. Still B potential, still 7'6, 310.

Mihm gained a handles too, which I was very happy about.

Mo Taylor stayed the same.

Bo Outlaw went +1 inside. Good, cause I need scoring off the bench.

Tskalidis gained a handle a dropped a defense. He's worthless.

Sow did nothing a dropped a potential.

Peja did nothing a dropped a potential. Probably no chance of him ever being a B+ defender again. Now he's got lots of company as a A outside shooter too.

Bee gained an outside shot.

Lavar, after having the best training camp in SSBA last year, dropped 1 rebounding, and that was it. He was going to be a potential starter if he could improve again.

Wallace gained a handle.

Ricky Minard went -3 overall. Down an outside, down a handle, down a rebounding.

Here's where it gets fun:

My starting back court....House and Davis.

House goes -1 outside, -1 defense. THE TWO THINGS THAT ARE MOST IMPORTANT TO ME.

Baron Fucking Davis....-1 handles, -1 defense. THE TWO THINGS THAT ARE MOST IMPORTANT TO ME.


Lovelette went +1 outside. If he ever improves his handles, he could be something.

Overall, I'm done. Training camp has ruined my season. My Center was fantastic. my PF didn't go down. My SF lost potential, but will still be worth 25.

I have the worst starting SG in the league. My PG is still arguably the best in the League because of the TC Mercer had, but if he had stayed the same it wouldn't be an arguement.

Just freakin great.

[RaptorsGM]

And to top all that off, the Nets are officialy unbeatable...

Emeka is now the MVP. Petit is second in MVP voting.


Can someone answer this question for me: Why is it that the best team gets better, and those that were hot on his heels get so much worse?

Damn FBB.

Wow, I feel bad for you man. Boozer sucked. Drew Gooden is now a smaller Chris Muhm with a max contract. That was nice on Ellis though, he's close to a starter on your team...

[NetsGM]

I got news for you, House was the worst starting SG in the league before TC.

I had a good TC because I had guys in Okafor and Pettit who's A potential was proved last year in TC, when they both gained.  If they increase in ratings and keep their A potential, I've found that usually indicates a true A potential.

And I'm not the best team in the league.  Not before nor after TC.

[RaptorsGM]

House was a B+ outside shooter, A- defender with good handles. his job isn't to score, it's to contain.

A- defense made him a fine choice, still had the ability to hit a 3.

You had guys with potential, yes. But so did alot of other teams. Billups is improving while Baron Davis and Mason Mercer are declining, on their B potentials.

I can't see a team better than you.

[NetsGM]

BTW, Can I just remind people that these are alphabetical representations in 5 categories for numerical values in 16.  I would bet most of the players who decreased (with the exception of the elderly) are not significantly worse than in prior years.

[BullsGM-old]

First off, Raptors IMO opinion I got screwed more than you.  EVERYONE on my team got WORSE or stayed the same except Traylor.  Griffin is no longer a franchise player, just a solid starter.  I can understand your complaints, butyour big 3 is very much intact.  Your TC was much better than alot of the other teams

And like I told you all along, House BLOWS.  Believe me, I don't care what his defense and scoring was, even when I gave him time he sucked ass.

Well at least theres one thing that makes me feel better, the Boston trade payed off big time.  Traylor improved, Pierce and Allen stayed the same (potential went down) bu on the other hand Darko is a complete disaster and Curry got worse.  Barry went to A outside though

Hey Pistons, are you still mad that we didn't do that trade?..  You should be praising the lord you didn't do it

Not the case with Griffin

Well, I at least hopes he averages the same numbers he did last year

[NetsGM]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Griffin went up in 2 places (Outside and Rebounding) and down in one (Inside).

That's a net increase.  To me his A potential held true.

And Mason Mercer, IMO, you couldn't hope for much more in this TC after what happened last year.  That's just greedy.

[NetsGM]

Yao joined elite company.  Peja didn't get worse (a real concern considering he dropped in defense the year before).  I mean really, we're complaining this much about Eddie friggin House?

[NetsGM]

Alright, let's move on.  I overreacted a bit.

Eddie friggin House is my starting SG, and was brought in to defend.

Eddie House is my Shane Battier.
