Team Now vs. Team you started with

[RaptorsGM]

Shouldn't we wait on this untill the end of free agency?

Well, we could, but since there is nothing to do these days, we might as well do it now. And there is like 4 days in between draft and FA where nothing goes on, so this is something to do.

Pistons Now and Then:

Center - Oscar Ferry(now) - Ben Wallace (then)
Not many centers better than Wallace, but i managed to get 12 years younger and more offensive with the center position... adv - Push

Power Forward - Troy Murphy(now) - Rasheed Wallace(then)
Basically the same type of Power Forwards, but Murphy is a lot younger and has more potential... adv - Murphy

Small Forward - Rashard Lewis(now) - Tayshaun Prince(then)
No need to even explain...  Lewis is one of the best SF's in the game... adv - Lewis

Shooting Guard - Bruce Bowen(now) - Richard Hamilton(then)
I like Bowen more because he is better defensively, but Rip is a better all-around player...  adv - Hamilton

Point Guard - Steve Nash(now) - Chauncey Billups(then)
Not much to say here...  Nash is like a Top 3 PG in the game...  No one has handles like him, but billups was a very good all-around player... adv - Nash

Bench(now)
Ethan Terpening
Derrick Coleman
David Wesley
Eric Williams

Bench(then)
Derrick Coleman
Elden Campbell
Lindsey Hunter
Antonio McDyess

Overall I think I improve my team a lot...  Pistons were a decent  team to start with, but i think the "new" team has a good mix of young stars with veteran role players(just the right mix to make a nice play-off run)...

[GoldenStateGM]

Golden State Warriors

Center - now - Andris Biedrins - then - Adonal Foyle
Foyle is a nice center to have, but as a tandem, he and Murphy were not that great.  Biedrins was already on my roster, it was just getting rid of Murphy that allowed me to start him, so it is a push...  

PF - now - Ben Wallace - then - Troy Murphy
Easily, easily Ben Wallace.  He makes the entire team better, and compensates for Biedrins weaknesses perfectly.  Getting him was also the reason I was able to start Biedrins over Foyle, puching Foyle to the bench as one of the best Big men off the bench in the league.

SF - now - Vlad Radmanovic/Luol Deng   Then - Mike Dunleavy
If I resign Vlad in the offseason, he is definitely better then Dunleavy.  If Luol Deng is my SF, it is still in my favor.  Only thing I need from my small forward is defense, and maybe some outside shooting.  Both Deng and Radman are better defenders then Dunleavy.

SG - now - JRich   Then - JRich
Then was actually better, since JRich made a lot less money.. lol

PG - Now - Kirk Hinrich   Then - Speedy Claxton
Huge, huge upgrade...  Claxton is a nice backup, and below average starter...  Hinrich, imo, will be one of the top 10 PG's in the league this year.

[MavsGM]

Haha.

I know HawksGM was pissed when he saw that trade posted where I shaved off 7 million in cap room days before free agency

When you think of it, the trade was Okafor, Boozer and Hump for Kidd and RJ.  Kidd was alrite for the Jazz, but RJ is just an ok player.

That was my intention right from the getgo.  I made that trade banking that none of the other teams would be able to dump enough salary and catch up to me.

[SixersGM]

No sixers in the poll?

[RaptorsGM]

You haven't made a case for yourself.

And I think the fact that the Warriors have 4 votes and the Raptors have 1 shows that most of SSBA is mad at me for making so many trades that improved my team so much.

Lol...  Considering how bad the real Warriors are, I must be doing something right.  I ended their 5+ year playoff drought...  

[RaptorsGM]

Look at how bad the real Raptors are.

[GoldenStateGM]

Look at how bad the real Raptors are.

Real Warriors are much, much worse, record wise...

[RaptorsGM]

True, but the SSBA Raptors are much, much better than the SSBA Warroirs

[GoldenStateGM]

True, but the SSBA Raptors are much, much better than the SSBA Warroirs

You may be slightly better (if that makes your ego feel better)...

But I also have youth on my side
Raps average age... 25.4 years
Warriors average age 22 years  

And no matter how well Greg Ostertag plays, he will always be Greg Ostertag...

Youth, smouth.

Mihm, Boozer, Finley, Vince, Cassell, Ostertag, Ellis = Best 7 in SSBA. Easily.

[NetsGM]

I know you love to pat yourself on the back, but out of your starting 5 you have 1 A- defender, 2 b+, and 2 B's.

Not terrible, but that will place you in the lower half of the league defensively.

Taking a page from the kings, just trying it out

I think I'm just going to let my record speak for itself.
