Sim 3 Preview/Discussion

[CavsGM]

And as I side note, I'm gonna predict that the Hornets go all the way this year and win a championship. Not to take anything away from the Nets, but this team is simply amazing. They have the perfect balance of offense and defense. With Ben down low, their big three will shine even more now.

But I gotta tell ya Hornets, you have a knack for trading away great picks. First, it was the pick that ended up being #1 and English was selected. Then in the Odom trade, you gave me the Spurs pick which became the #1(Keogan) and this years Suns pick, which is set to be another #1 pick. On top of all of this, in the Robet Swift deal you sent me this years Kings pick, now set at #4. The Grizzlies are looking good, but just in case, you might want to hold on to the pick...

[KingsGM-old]

I consider the Hornets a team to beat too. Great team.

p.s. Consider Kings pick worthless as can be. You can book that.

Hey, thanks for the vote of confidence Cavs
I definitely think that the Nets are the team to beat, but everyone has a shot.

Man, I didn't even realize that I traded the Suns pick this year, that's brutal. However, the Knicks pick got me Marion, and the Spurs pick got me Odom, so it's not a total loss. Not sure what I traded the Suns pick for, but probably not something as good as what it's going to end up as.
I would probably still do Robert Swift for the #4 pick (can't remember what else I gave up in that trade.)

[CavsGM]

The Suns pick was in addition to the Spurs pick. So that's two #1 picks for Odom...
And in the Swift deal, along with the Kings pick you gave me Pietrus(who is actually looking pretty good now on the Kings) and a 2nd rounder I believe.

[HornetsGM]

Ouch. But there's no way that I could tell that the pick would be #1, given the lotto. It's just been bad luck  
I don't think I would do otherwise, going back. There's also no way I could have foreseen the Suns' complete collapse. They have a decent team on paper.

[KingsGM-old]

Suns are complete mistery. No team can be 2-20, that bad. I have no idea what went wrong.

[CavsGM]

Haha, I was so angry when Shaq didn't retire, but it looks like that didn't really matter at all...

[MavsGM]

Fist winning sim in a long time.  Doing it without Big Z, who just played one game.

[CelticsGM]

The Suns will rebound, believe me. Sure they lack a decent scorer (and SG/SF for that matter) but they could get one out of the fronline of Magloire, Collison and Hoiberg by trade. Shaq can still start, he just shouldn't be expected to carry the offense anymore.

Hav is a fine starter too, but again he is NO, repeat NO offensive option at all. Let him dish and run the team. Posey is decent and there are worse backups than Ward, Dixon, Walker and Hoiberg/Collison.

The most likely won't make the playoffs as even I didn't that deep of a hole to climb out of, but no way i see them finishing with the worst record (unless they completely dismantle the team)

[GoldenStateGM]

Well, conference was nice, and received a very pleasant suprise when I finally logged back in.

Warriors have gone 12-3 since Jim Finley was put back in the starting lineup.

And with significant injuries to Don Ruffin, Stromile Swift, and Kobe earlier, the team is still in 2nd place in the Pacific.

Very happy so far, and now just waiting for Swift to recover from his injury...

[BlazersGM]

2-2 sim after some big changes, went 3-3 then 2-4, now 2-2, decided to completly change the lineup and gameplay this sim, but things didn't change much.

Lost to Clipps 83-104 , still my team is playing pretty even, so no big performances by any of the players, they still
distribute the ball pretty even between 6-7 main guys.

Wizards 98-83 Still the same, 6 playeers with more then 11 points, Russel was leading the team with 20

Mavs 95-103 same shit again, i like it tough, 6-7 player rotation, everybody is pretty much even

Clipps again 93-80 same story, still waiting for some one to jump out, but its fine like this tough, Schultz scored 22
 Russel 20/6/4, Telf 17 with 10 assists, Cunny 12 with 12 boards, Al with 16 boards.

This team definitely has a good future.
