Training Camp thread

[GoldenStateGM]

I dumped it all into a database, so I will be tracking the whole league over years...  I did not associate teams with the players, though, so I cannot run the team analysis that you can.

Okafor and Pettit are going to be A potentials for at least 2 years

 You hope...  I thought the same about 17 year old Biedrins, and he went down to a B potential...  But who knows...  next TC he may very well go back up to an A.  It is still perceived potential....

[PacersGM]

I also did the average rating increases for each level of potential (A, B, etc).  Oh, but I'm not divulging that data

Well, of course not...  and neither am I... lol
But, I have a feeling ours are pretty close.  I was quite surprised by the average increases, truth be told...  It will take a couple more years to see if this year was an aberration or not...

yea for the statistics i was also a little shocked but i am still not valueing the pot. this high.

[NetsGM]

You hope

No, they will be.

This TC and next TC they are guaranteed to have been A potential's going into it.

[PacersGM]

You hope

No, they will be.

This TC and next TC they are guaranteed to have been A potential's going into it.

how do you know?
do they have still 90 pot?

[NetsGM]

We're going by scouted potential in our analysis, since that's the only thing we can go by.

And I do know because they are both listed as an A potential....that will not change between now and next training camp.

[CavsGM]

But Boykins damn near dropped me out of the chair when I saw his TC.  He was only a C potential, and moved from a B handle and outside to an A- in both.  His defense also improved one.  Had I known that, I would've probably not resigned Miller.

You have three capable starting point guards. Had to sign Miller, didn't you...

I was looking at it as a no-lose situation.  I only bid on Miller the day I signed him.  But with neither Billups nor Boykins being a great defensive PG, I figured I could use him as a backup.  Also, with Miller being so good defensively, I also thought I'd rotate them for about 2 sims a piece, just to see how the offense functioned with both.  But then Boykins went crazy, and he's now rated pretty much the same as Miller.  

It sucked for me too, because I would've offered more to Medvedenko to stick around.

So if anyone needs a PG, let me know.  Boykins is the only one I can trade until day 60, though, and his contract is a bargain.

[NetsGM]

Geez, can you tell I'm a little anxious for the season?

I have the 8th best rated team (that doesn't include potential).  Then I also have the most potential in the league.

 

[GoldenStateGM]

Not on a single one of those lists.. lol...
Looks like my starting 5 is great at nothing, and bad at nothing at the same time.. lol

[NetsGM]

Yeah, I wasn't on anything either (until potential).

Keep in mind I only posted 3 deep.

The sam ewith mine...  Any way you could post the "Overall Starting 5 Rankings" for every team bods???  I don't really have too much time to figure it out, as do a decent amount of the other GM's i would imagine...  Thanks and hope you post them...

I had the top potential going into this past TC and I think my team came out worse than it did going in

[GoldenStateGM]

19th...  Oh, the pain...  It's a darn good thing my players are good at what they are suppsoed to be good at...  otherwise, I might be worried.. lol
