Looking at my past, I loved ballhandler's. Sebastian Telfair started all my tenure in the old league, and was basically a better ballhandling Boykins, with much better defense but less offense. Then I had Daniels, whom I regret giving up. Last year I went after Chamberlain, who wasn't nearly as good as boykins (offensively, defensively, and less of a ballhandler). I'm quite happy to have Earl, indeed. What....you have the old files saved? That link doesn't work, BTW. Ha, that is SO awesome, I never realized it. |

[quote="RaptorsGMAnd I am just so thrilled to get Finley. PF was a huge hole for me after trading Mihm, but I just found my starter, likely, depending on TC. I really feel like I just got a lottery pick. Where would he have gone in the lotto....top 5? And this really, really helps me out with FA next year...I could have 9-10 mil in cap space with a starting C, PF, SF and PG already.
[/quote]
no way is a 6-9 PF with C inside and b- at def and reb a top 5 lottery pick
he is possible a great backup but he would have to improve a lot to be a full time starter.

Marion? I would have said no way a SG with B- outside and B- defense would have gone in the top 4. Finley would have been the second best PF in this draft, after manning. |

I also offered Jackson Finley my MLE...in fact the only non PG I made the MLE offer to. I felt with the deep FA class at pg that I could get a capable backup. Speedy Claxton for the MLE fits my need...although Benoit was my first choice. I guess that Benoit being a San Antonio home boy wasn't enough to sway him....so much for hometown being a big factor in loyalty. I now have 14 players signed and am not sure if I will offer the LLE to anyone. They would end up just being an IR resident anyway. |

Still a few A potential guys, and with them, you never know. And if they do improve dramatically then they are gone in next year's FA. They won't do anything for me this year unless they take a couple of their C ratings up 2-3 levels. I would be better off signing someone for the minimum and having the flexibility to use them in trade. Or just having the open roster spot to use in trade scenarios. |

Raptors: link fixed.
Yeah, that league is played out a little longer than when we ended. I was looking for the save right after when jem quit, but I couldn't find it. Let me look some more.

found it. this save is right at day 1 of the 2006 season. Right when Jem quit and Twan took over (it was the file I was going to re-start that league with, if we chose to do so). http://ssba.phillyarena.net/files/oldleague/(NOTE: it's now finished). |

Unfortunately at this point I had only played 1 year, turning a a 25 win team (I think) into a 50 win team that went to the ECF in my first year.

wow, look at that Toronto Raptors team. Man, I had Wright/Okafor/Darko/Grizzard/Kidd with some seriously tradeable items.
Damn, I might take that old team over my new team.

Do I ever. A+ defense with B potential. Ha, I love it. 25.4, 13.1 and 3.3. Look at that amazing contract too. |
