Ask CelticsGM whatever you want about his team in this thread.

Already being a mediocre team and with several players on serious decline where do so you see yourself next season considering you don't have your own pick? ( )

[HeatGM]

can you teach me how to be the great GM like you?

[CelticsGM]

can you teach me how to be the great GM like you?

well, that's easy.

one word: DEDICATION.

reserve around 14 hours a day for sim league play, spend nights after nights in front of the monitor while risking your health and family life, and all the time LEARN, LEARN, LEARN.

sounds a lot like final exam week ... but is WAY more fun !!!

Whil I still DO have my own pick - you should fire your research department - I will answer this question in about 3 days. By then my team for next season should be complete and I know which direction I will go.

stay tuned ...

[BlazersGM]

we're still waiting

[CelticsGM]

we're still waiting

me too. One final trade this season is coming. Little use to talk before that ...

[BlazersGM]

ok

[KingsGM-old]

With couple of important players being retired, where do you see your team next season?

[CelticsGM]

a couple?

Kwame Brown called it's quits and while he was a nice defensive C he's not exactly been the Yao-stopper himself (who is/was anyway?). So unless you count ancient Gasol as another "important" retiree I doubt I have lost too much here.

So unless Sampson and Strait suddenly can't play C anymore it's business as usual here.



On a sidenote: way worse are the guy(s) who did NOT retire ...

[CelticsGM]

Man, my offseason is looking better and better.

Started off with Kwame and Gasol retiring, ripping away my complete C lineup.
And off course with Dirk NOT retiring, leaving my salaries at 82+ million, just 5.2m to the hard cap. And that with Perry still to resign.

And now ?

I got Perry back, signed Tsakalidis to MLE - who will at least replace the Gasol part, if not the Kwame part of last year - and I have held onto Dirk's 20mio expiring. Plus I'm still 3+ million away from the hard cap, nice for future options. And in the process I have reduced next year's salaries by 39 million bucks. It has cost me a future 1st, some talent (Vinnie, Tower, Trump) and around $500 cash, but i take that any time of the day.

And don't forget, I only had Childress for the final two sims last year, after aquiring him at the deadline, and went 19-6 with him in the lineup (inlcuding 11-2 in the reg season).

So this is going to be fun this year ... just not for Ivan, holding my pick !!!
 

[ClippersGM-old]

What is up with Perry at small forward???

[CelticsGM]

That's just for TC.
People develop differently at various positions. I'll explain later.

[CelticsGM]

So, what to do with the rest of the season for my Celtics?

Any playoff run has pretty much become an afterthought once Tyler's knee gave up. With no 1st I might either continue trying to maximize the win total or give the young studs a tryout for next season already.

With Tyler, Wedge, Sidney and Maxi I hope for at least 2 more productive seasons, so SF/C and the backup positions are what's in limbo. Of course, assuming somebody doesn't break the bank for Tyler/Moncrief in the offseason ...
