Day 2 Free Agency Results

[GoldenStateGM]

I see you admired my sig, huh Bods ?  

[KingsGM-old]

Yeah, you reeally need him.....for like 2.3mpg

[NetsGM]

Yeah, well I had wanted to get my lineup in there for a while.  I thought you did it the best.


Besides, I wanted to show off my deep bench of chauncey, Salmons and Lo

(Barbosa will be in there as well, probably replacing turkoglu, if he signs).

[HawksGM]

lol, I wish I had some depth or something to show off in a sig

[NetsGM]

lol, I wish I had some depth or something to show off in a sig

you know, after the draft debacle, and with what happened on day 1 fa, i felt bad for you.

for a second.

until i realized you won, what was it, 1 or 2 championships in the old league?

bastard.

[HawksGM]

lol 1, should have been 2 but Big Ben missed 2 games in a series and I lost in 7.  Yea, I don't want any sympathy, I just have to go back to my old GM style, even though it's not as fun as trading good players all the time.

[NetsGM]

I have now played a total of 6 SSBA seasons.  I won 50 games in I believe 5 of those 6 seasons.  Still ringless.   That was my first finals appearance right there.

[MavsGM]

Wait, what team were you in old SSBA?

[SunsGM]

he was the Hawks in the old league too

He won the 3rd year of the league?

[HawksGM]

yea, that's the worst thing about winning, unless you win the ring it doesn't matter.  And if you are winning 50 games you don't want to make too many moves because it might throw off your chance at winning but the moves you've made has made a 50 win team a possible 60 win team.  I think you have the best team in the league with chemistry and balance wise.  The Sonics have a ton of firepower but it might take 5 sims for them to get accustomed to playing on the court together.

[NetsGM]

Hawks were the Hawks.  I was the Nuggets.

I hope my moves work out.  I really think I fixed 2 of my main weaknesses.  Turnovers and bench production.  Turnovers KILLED me in the later parts of the finals, and his bench outscored mine.

I was telling the Warriors right before Day 1, Ben Gordon was my #1 target.  With his age, potential, defense and outside shooting ability, he could get me a dynasty.  But I thought Earl might help me win more this year, fitting my style of play to a T.

Especially since I like to play an uptempo style of game, I need someone who doesn't turn the ball over AT ALL.

Earl's great at protecting the ball.  Shane doesn't turn the ball over at all.  Emeka isn't bad at turning it over.  And Dalembert doesn't touch the ball

As long as Pettit doesn't turn into Pierce, I should have no problems.

It'll also be interesting to see if a more natural distributor doesn't help Pettit.

[HawksGM]

Yea I was the Hawks in the old ssba, won with Artest and Big Ben.  Big Ben/PJ Brown/Artest/Louis Williams/Howard Eisley won the championship for me.

[BucksGM]

Well I'm happy to pick up Banks and House, mostly for their defensive abilities in the backcourt, since the only downgrade from Tinsley to Nash was defense.  

Other than losing Collier, everything's gone right for my FA.

[NetsGM]

Yea I was the Hawks in the old ssba, won with Artest and Big Ben.  Big Ben/PJ Brown/Artest/Louis Williams/Howard Eisley won the championship for me.

Then you traded Artest for Swift with me.

Dunno what I was thinking.  I already had Marion at the 3.  I ended up playing Marion at the 4.

Still won 50 games, but lost in the 2nd round, I believe (the previous year I was in the WCF).

But I was SET after the draft that year.  I had 2 top 15 picks.  One of them was a stud shooting guard prospect, Courtney Long.  I played the league out after we started this one up, he was a 20 ppg scorer.  I also got Isidoro Vaugh in that draft.

[HawksGM]

Bucks, I should have got Donta Smith, 6,000,000 over 5 years with an increase of 5%.  But your team is looking good, Ferry and Okur should be a good combo on the inside w/Kobe and Nash on the permiter.
