2011 Playoffs - NBA Final

@altodevil is playing for his 5th ring. He's up against the Washington Wizards and Kevin Durant, the player who is very likely only a season or two away from overtaking all Cafites to become the best player in the league.

[weetee]

The old man did it again. Congrats.

 

[nimic]

I suspect this is the last time.

 

[V.O.]

Judging by the stats, Rose hasn't actually taken my job yet. Still got it*

*To the very small extent that I ever had it

 

[P-Nut]

Someone must surely need a finishing piece to score them some points, get me a trade

 

[altodevil]

Incredible. Greatest postseason in NBA history. To sweep in the finals is just outrageous. Truly iconic. Unquestionably the greatest player of all time.

Only lost one to the Warriors, the worst team in the playoffs.

Coming up: Draft and Free Agency

 

[weetee]

Just wanted to tell @nimic that highlighting my mediocre stats goes neither unnoticed nor unappreciated.

 

[sebsheep]

Might be time for Sebjr to take the next steps and find a team that can carry him better.

 

[nimic]

It's because I am "playing" as Atlanta, you should be grateful for all the free publicity.

 

[Solius]

Made a three-pointer to force overtime in a loss. Cracking stuff

 

[Stobzilla]

For the love of god let me land on a good team this off season. Please.

 

[weetee]

Didn't you get injured in said OT too? Think I saw that on TikTok.

It's because I am "playing" as Atlanta, you should be grateful for all the free publicity.

I'm very loyal to the franchise it seems.

 

[Dr. Dwayne]

Coming up: Draft and Free Agency

Do I play for the Utah Jazz or Manchester United?

 

[The Cat]

That's my boy!

 

[P-Nut]

Come on someone trade to me so I can finally get somewhere

 

[altodevil]

Interest sapped because I've dominated. Sorry nimic. I still like it though.

2011 Draft and Free Agency

Draft (top 10 + Klay)

1. Derrick Williams (F 51/74) to the Golden State Warriors
2. Kyrie Irving (G 56/71) to the Atlanta Hawks
3. Kawhi Leonard (SF 57/71) to the Memphis Grizzlies
4. Iman Shumpert (GF 55/70) to the Charlotte Bobcats
5. Kemba Walker (PG 57/70) to the Indiana Pacers
6. Isaiah Thomas (G 56/68) to the Milwaukee Bucks
7. Chandler Parsons (F 57/63) to the Los Angeles Clippers
8. Brandon Knight (G 51/69) to the Memphis Grizzlies
9. Tristan Thompson (FC 46/69) to the Houston Rockets
10. Ricky Rubio (PG 55/68) to the New Jersey Nets
11. Klay Thompson (GF 55/67) to the Phoenix Suns

Free Agency - we're going to start seeing much cheaper Cafites, as age plays a big factor in salary size. This should drastically increase the chances that you can get on teams with other (?) good players. No guarantees.

SebJr (@sebsheep) has re-signed with the Miami Heat for $6.05M/yr through 2015.
@Stobzilla II has left the New Orleans Hornets after only one season there, and signed with the Denver Nuggets for $10.44M/yr through 2016
@weetee has re-signed with the Atlanta Hawks for $2.24M/yr through 2015.
@V.O. has as expected re-signed with the ascendant New Jersey Nets for $6.39M/yr through 2016.
@Dr. Dwayne has left the Utah Jazz and signed for the Golden State Warriors for $8.5M/yr through 2015.

Trades

@V.O. (NJ) - this is a heavy "win now" move.

@Samid (CHA) - well that's a cheap player.

@Solius (MEM) -

@Skizzo (IND), Solius (MEM) - I guess Memphis really wanted Charlie Villanueva.

@altodevil (LAL) - is this the first sign of the Lakers slowing down and planning for an alto-less future?

altodevil (LAL), @Dr. Dwayne (GSW) - charitably, you can assume that Lakers pick won't be good in 2012, while that Golden State pick might be good in 2015.

 

[Solius]

That looks bad for me. Is that bad?

 

[nimic]

That looks bad for me. Is that bad?

Depends if Charlie works out or not.

 

[sebsheep]

Can't even remember the last time my team did a proper trade

 

[BenitoSTARR]

What is a trade?

 

[altodevil]

Marvin williams return right? First trade good, second trade bad. But strange given we are clearly still win now mode.

 

[hobbers]

What is a trade?

Witchcraft as far as I can tell. Never witnessed one myself.

 

[BenitoSTARR]

Witchcraft as far as I can tell. Never witnessed one myself.

Up there with fairies and a functional midfield for United.

Could we be looking at a non-Lakers winner this year?

Team Finances & Strategy

Top 10 Preview

It's official! The highest rated player is no longer a Cafite. Kevin Durant won MVP last season, and now he's on top in every way that counts... except winning.

 

[Dr. Dwayne]

Looks like Utah are fecked without me.

 

[altodevil]

All good things come to an end

 

[Solius]

My decline is sad to see.

 

[nimic]

Poor wittle 3rd best player in the world

 

[nimic]

Look at Dwayne, he's 34 and he's getting better!

 

[Solius]

Poor wittle 3rd best player in the world

It's like going bald when you had a full head of hair.

 

[weetee]

Surprised ATL is ranked that high.

 

[nimic]

Surprised ATL is ranked that high.

Me too! No superstars, just a pretty good squad.

 

[V.O.]

Straight up the best team in the league. It's now or never if I'm winning anything.

So yeah, getting traded away to OKC or somewhere in 5... 4...

 

[Dr. Dwayne]

Look at Dwayne, he's 34 and he's getting better!

Kids today.

 

[The Cat]

Have I gone up or down this season @nimic ?

 

[reelworld]

wait Denver with the second worst record in the league but didn't get the top 10 picks? Did they trade the pick
