Portland TrailBlazers Block

[BlazersGM]

After 2 seasons of not making any trades, i decided to put some, actually the whole team on the block, however not necesarilly i'lll do any moves if offers are not really great for me, im looking for superstar players, young studs, picks, anything basically as long the offer is good.

Here's the list:

HARD

Rafael Araujo C 32 6'11'' 290 B+ C D B+ A D ....one of top C for ages in SSBA, still great and still has some 4-5 great seasons in front of him, he turned my team finally into a great team so it will take a lot to get him, improved his defense to A this TC, i believe he never was
such a good D player like he is now.

Steven Buehler SF 27 6'6'' 225 B- C+ D- A- A- B ...one of top SF/PF in the league on defense, amazing defender and also very modest, last year he didnt ask for any big contract but remained a 3M salary player.

Sebastian Telfair PG 27 5'11'' 165 B- B A- B+ D D ....Telf is one of this league's top PG's, a true leader for a decade, improved significantly his handlings and defense(became a spg specialist as well) while lowering TO's as well (he has been a TOP 10 TO player before).

Carlos Clement PG 23 6'4'' 189 C+ B+ B- B+ C+ B ...This young stud is improving like hell...and seems not to stop in any near future...came to the league as C C+ C+ C+ C- A player....first TC improved +2, next season +3 and this season +5...his improvement is skyrocketing from year to year, still lots of room for improvement and i he continues this way he'll be a superstar in 1-2 seasons, now already a great player on offense, handling and defense...I use him as a SG and he provides great numbers, 14.4ppg, 7.2rpg,5.0apg 1.6spg on .487 FG .706 FT and .440 3PT as a 2nd option, fantastic you all-around Iggy alike player who jumps as hell and so far this
season of 40 something games i just saw him play 2 or 3 "bad" so we're talking about top talent here.

MEDIUM
Chris Bosh PF 28 6'10'' 210 B C- C A- C+ C....Bosh is a good offensive and great defensive player, many of you may not like him, but since coming to Portland Bosh improved his shooting in TC and is playing very good and very important role on this team.

Ricardo Tsakalidis PF 29 6'9'' 239 C+ C C- A- B- C....similar player as Bosh, when given more minutes plays really great, is great on D and a very good rebounder for a B- one.


EASY
Juan Cunningham C 30 6'11'' 263 B+ C- C C B D...but him in easy just cause of his big contract, but as a backup for me has always served great despite ratings, great always on offense when comes in and now and then great on defense, had a lot of good games grabbing lots of rebs and playing good D when came in.

Stewart Tippett C 23 6'9'' 261 C C C- C+ B- C...can go for nothing.

Russell Houbregs SF 26 6'7'' 218 C+ A- C C+ D C...great offensive shooter but has no defense and no sights for improvement on defense.
 
DerMarr Johnson SF 32 6'9'' 201 C B D B+ C C....Good on offense, very good on defense...a minimum contract.

Chris Myers SF 18 6'7'' 228 C C D- C C B...Being 18 still a great long-term project.

Jeremy Rodrigues SF 19 6'5'' 191 C C D+ C C- A...same as Myers, a great long-term project.

Mac Wetzel SG 26 6'6'' 240 C B+ D+ D+ C D...fanastic shooter but lacks the rest unfortunately, can go for expiring.

Nicolas Cofield SG 21 6'3'' 187 C C C C- C B...can go for nothing


MLE
Mark Bird PG 27 6'3'' 180 C+ B- A- B- C C

[BlazersGM]

PLEASE DONT SEND SUCH TOTALLY IDIOTIC OFFERS.....so far i've received 8 offers for various players, 4 were a good starting point, 2 where really bad but not an insult and 2 were completely insulting to my intelligence....please don't do that....from now on i won't even respond such idiotic offers....sometimes i really wish we had some rule on that to "report" such crap.

Oh, you're looking for a new starting point? Not happy with Telfair anymore?

I don't think he's referring to a starting point guard.

[BlazersGM]

im more then happy with Telfair, Telf and Hoffa are essential for my team...i just put them on the block to see what i can get, if i get a more then fair offer i might ship someone, but not neceserally....and considering the kind of offers i got so far, its a lot likely nobody will move, but hey....you never know....someone might even send a good offer.

Well, we've all sent out that kind of crap sometimes, you and me included.

[BlazersGM]

Trust me Raps,
 2 offers i received i believe neither you (i never do really) or me or anybody out of all GM's here would send  (or ever received) except those 2 i got, came 2 offers that really insult.....i wish there was some kind of possible ban on that......but its was not a good try to get something good for cheap like once when i just started and traded my lotto pick for a B+ hn A- def PG (and there was millions like that with those ratings) who was like 30 y.o, with absolutely no offense or anything, complete steal.........this offers are i just dunno how to describe......this was more like people offering Steve Kerr for Michael Jordan and asking to add picks for Kerr, sort of C+ C+ C- D+ D- players for A+ A+ A+ A+ A+ A+ player....that's really absurd and insulting to anyone's inteligence....its fine to give it a try and offer some shit, but offering F- players for MJ has absolutely no sense.....it just pisses off.

[RaptorsGM]

Well, I agree with you in that I also find terrible offers pretty insulting.

[BlazersGM]

i know, well most of them are very poor offers (in all SIM leagues) but those one's where really absurd, never got such a thing since ive started with SIM leagues, i dunno what other ppl receive usually but after 2 years or more years this was the first time, but those 2 i've recevied where 2 most terrible offers i had ever received, and they came from experienced so-called GM's.....but well doesnt matter really after all, i dont care, but this crossed the line a bit......i'll just ignore those PMs from now on.
