Training Camp Discussion...

[GoldenStateGM]

Well, it looks like training camp is tonight.

Huge Training camp for the Warriors.

Any improvement in Hinrich would be bonus, I really do not expect anything.
Truly hope that Swift and Kobe can just maintain their current levels.  If they do that, it is a successful TC for them.
Would love to see Deng and Finley improve.  Deng had a huge TC last year, so I doubt he will improve.  Any improvement likely puts him in the upper echelon of SF's.
Really do need some improvement from Finley.  If he could at least bump up his rebounding, that would be great.  Anything else would be a nice bonus.
Would also like to see defensive improvement from Iggy, Springs, Holt, and Rubini.  And any improvement in Ruffin would be great as well.

My team is very young, so I am hoping for a really good TC this year.

It will be today all i think

[RaptorsGM]

He'll do it today.

Remember, the guy has a life too. He got p to something last night, had a few too many, passed out at the local circus under the ferris wheel.

He'll do it once he gets back home.

[Str8westcoasta]

ABSOLUTELY HUGE training camp for the Rockets!!!

This either makes or breaks my rebuilding process. I have put a lot of faith in youth over the alst 2 season with Summitt, Rahim, Doleac and now Barton and I need them to realise their potential soon!

Nick Abdur-Rahim C 23 7'0'' 270 B- D+ D B B- B
 - I'd like to see: B D+ D B B B (upgrades in inside and rebounding)

Carlos Boozer PF 26 6'9'' 258 B+ C- C+ B A B
 - I'd like to see B+ C- C+ B+ A B (an upgrade in defense)

Rasheed Wallace SF 34 6'11'' 230 B- B C- A- C D
 - Stay the same and I have no beef!

Benjamin Wolkowyski SF 21 6'7'' 224 C B+ C+ C+ C- B
 - If one of those C+'s turns to a B-, I'll be happy

Patrick Doleac SF 24 6'10'' 216 C+ C+ C C+ C- A
 - High hoeps! B- B- C B- C- A   (A potential it could happen....    )

Barton O'Connell PG 21 5'11'' 196 C A- A- C D A
 - Come on you beauty! Maybe... C A- A B- D A, to much to ask?

I hope guys like Finley, Sheed, Summitt and Kandi don't fall and I really need my young guns to step up. If not it could be another season of mediocrity... (is that a word? is now!)

[BlazersGM]

C Cunningham B+ C- C- C+ B- C, hope he improves either handling or defense
PF Buehler B- C D- B B A, high hopes there, inside and defense(or handling would be great)
PF Harrington B- C+ C C B- B, any improvement would be great, or stay cool
SF Mitchell C C C C C- A, whatever
SG Shultz B- B- C- B C A, shooting and D, pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
SG/SF Houbregs B- A- C C D+ B, improving outside and D would be great
PG Telf B- B- B B- D+ A handling,defense and shooting pleaseeeeeeeeeeee,at least hn
PG Perry C- C+ B- A- C A , man you better get a good TC or i'm screwed, handling and defense would be ideal.


Other guys please stay the same (or improve if you still can)

Blazers Managment

[NetsGM]

Hoping turkoglu improves some.  B- B would be great offensively.

Praying Boykins stays the same.

Okafor and Pettit still have potential, but any more development would be gravy.

Hoping Brad Miller doesn't show his age quite yet.

Really, my team is in the 26-30 range, so I'm not hoping for (and expecting) much.

[SpursGM-old]

I have just one big wish...that Mikan rewards me with a good TC (+3 or 4 levels- preferably in defense & rebounding) after I rewarded him with a 4 year contract.  Holding A potential for four years; it is time for him to realize it.


Otherwise I will be happy to just have everyone maintain or slightly improve.

[CavsGM]

Hoping for...

Chamberlain to improve in either offense or defense
Keogan to improve in defense
Holton to improve in offense and rebounding

That's pretty much it, actually...

[CelticsGM]

Celtics wish list to "Santa TC":

Duncan obviously, being still A pot after 3 seasons, is due for some improvement. Gasol had a subpar last TC too with pot B so there is at least some hope.

Al Jefferson hopefully doesn't go down, he improved so much last 3 TCs i can't expect this to go on.

Lenard, Mihm, Tower, Van Exel and Elliott all carry A and B pot so some of this bunch should see some ratings go up, with Elliott the least likely since he led the league in improvement last year.

And then there's the rest of my starters, Chauncey, Ginobili and Booth, all of these past their 30th anniversary, so I don't have high hopes here.


But as our guru bods once proclaimed: A good TC isn't necessarily translating into a good season ...
 

[HornetsGM]

I want Swift and Livingston to have good TCs. I'm not really expecting improvements for anyone else. I'd be happy if Pavel's rebounding went to a B+ though.

[MavsGM]

I just hope my team will have more +'s then -'s ratings.

[ClippersGM-old]

Clippers TC wishlist!

- Chandler to get B+ inside and/or get better ballhandling (funny thing, he has B potential where he had D potential a couple seasons ago).

- Broderick Baylor. Getting better at inside scoring and rebounding.If defense and outside improves... look for a very big small forward in the Clippers lineup next season.

- Jackson Finley. Inside scoring and defense. Maybe also handling. He could be something special.

- Ben Gordon... in the words of M.L.King... I have a dream... of him becoming the best player in ssba. But would be very happy with improving his handling! Also inside scoring!

- Cody Bee. Improve in hanling so he can be a good backup pg that I can count on.

- Shawn Nichols.... a project... I wonder what he will bring.

- Everybody else..... please stay the same or get a little better!

[HawksGM]

My whole season rests on TC, obviously it's not going to be playoffs anyway but I would like to see defensive improvements out of all of my players.  Ivan's future pretty much will be decided in this TC.  I'm hoping Marion has a great TC and hopefully Marquez is wrong on that D potential.  Defensive improvements is all I ask for.

[KingsGM-old]

Meaningless TC for the Kings.
