[NetsGM]

There isn't a player in the league with A+ scoring, either inside or out.

In fact there are only 8 players with A outside.  There are 3 with A inside.

I wonder if any players will ever get to A+ scoring. Petit has a good chance.

There are only 8 A outside shooters, and I have 2 of them. Awesome.

And I'm thinking no A rebounders.

[NetsGM]

Dampier.

6 A ballhandlers (English, Nash A+, Kidd, Jones, Williams, Boykins)

Wow, A/A.

But I wonder if that stays when he goes to PF.

I think Williams might be best PG.

[CelticsGM]

Analysis from the Celtics TC are just in so here's the synopsis from a disappointed GM:

- 8 of my 15 guys lost on potential (none gained pot) including 3 of my 4 A's
- Eisley (well he's old) and Milicic (big surprise, at least for me) lost big time (4 and 3 cat's)
- Jefferson improved in D and handling, but lost reb (damn!)
- i'm now left with a B defense throughout (and Barry)

and none of this young and promising group (save for Jefferson) - at least that's what I thought - improved more than one cat, which makes this TC a big disappointment for me.

I feel for you man, I'm glad traded Darko.

But hey, Barry is freakin awesome now

[RaptorsGM]

Look at Vince. Wow.

Can't believe I got Baron for Vince (That's how it worked out)

THe Nuggets must be feeling it. Raped twice in 2 days. Boykins is no Billups. Kmart is much better than Vince.

[BullsGM-old]

Dang, Dunleavy really panned out.  He'll be awesome if he can play up to his ratings

[RaptorsGM]

Nets are going to run into a problem - the Knicks have only 11 players on their roster.

[CelticsGM]

Wow, just wow...
Fukin Brutal, thats all I can honestly say.  This straight up blows, I'm pissed right now.
Griffin went down to B inside, and B potential.
Mercer went down to B+ handles and C potential
Anderson stayed the same
Skita got worse in handles, potential
Jim Jackson went down in defense
Allen went down in potential
Fab went down in handles
Pierce went down in potential

The only player in my rotation who really improved was Traylor.  And I don't even have my pick this year...

I guess we both haven't had the tC we expected, but I still hope Darko can get better over the years (doesn't Larry Brown feel the same way ... ?)

[CelticsGM]

Just looking over the rosters, it seems that pretty much every team has had a below average TC.  Weird

I think the Sonics - a team I watch closely because they follow the same "building with youth" path  - had a great TC.

English, Kundla, Geiger, Stockton and Butler all improved significantly (by 2-4 categories), Shaq had just a minor decrease in reb, and except for PF they have great young talent everywhere.
Only 4th pick Hoiberg can be considered a disappointment who got worse.

They may not win it all this year but they built a great foundation for the future ...

No offense, but do you look at things before you post crap like this?

First of all, Boykins is equal to Billups in my mind.  Billups went up to a B in defense (one better than Earl), but Boykins went up to an A in handling (one better than Chauncey).

And if you look at my post, KMart didn't have a good TC either.  Actually, Collison is equal to KMart offensively now, and I got out from under KMart's huge contract.  The contract was the main reason I moved KMart in the first place.  A PF with A- inside who shoots 44% unimpressed me.

If you were looking to move a 20-10 PF because of his contract, you should have let me know.

And if you're so concerened about shooting percentages, I would have thought Billups' 46.8%, 91.7%FT and 50% 3PT would look alot better than Boykins' 41.1%, 65%FT, 40% 3PT.

[BullsGM-old]

Bottom line: Nuggets are 6-2

I don't know what you're arguing Raptors, Vince is doing fine and the Nuggets are doing fine

[RaptorsGM]

True, but he still got raped twice, which is all I'm arguing.

Could have got alot more for Billups.

Could have got alot more for KMart.
