@nimic can I see my stats please so I can see how I need to improve things and be less useless

never mind, just saw your post above.. I’ll take 15 points from rebounding and I’ll add 15 to 3 pointers please
 
Easy for you to say, you struck gold, and kept improving. The game basically decided you get to be good, so this is a carrot to the rest.

But they might make themselves worse, so in that case you can point and laugh.
I’m just being a grump hammer.
 
@nimic Attempting to be slightly less useless on defence...

Endurance: 96 -> 90 (-6)
Dunks/layups: 57 -> 43 (-14)
Mid range: 94 -> 86 (-8)
Three pointers: 97 -> 92 (-5)
Offensive: IQ 97 -> 95 (-2)
Rebounding: 11 -> 1 (-10)

Jumping: 54 -> 69 (+15)
Defensive IQ: 59 -> 74 (+15)
Strength: 22 -> 37 (+15)
 
Solius did I ever mention that Charlotte is a really lovely place. The facilities are fantastic too.
 
Here's you at the start of the season:

Remember to get any changes you want to make (following the rules I set out) by tomorrow, I might roll over into preseason then. I can still change you right up until I actually start running the season, but it's easier this way.

  2. Marvin Williams (F 49/73) to the Los Angeles Lakers
  3. Raymond Felton (G 57/70) to the Cleveland Cavaliers

P-Nut (he actually went into free agency and then signed with the Grizzlies again, instead of re-signing like Samid)

Pre-season trades

Nature abhors a vacuum, and Solius abhors not having any Cafite teammates.


Samid - 4th different team for Solius

- good news/bad news situation here. Good news: you made it to Seattle. Bad news: Solius, Kevin Garnett and Amar'e Stoudemire are no longer on it.

Wait so we had two top-4 picks and didn't pick the best players to win now. For god sake. So close to CP3.
 
Imagine being a Sonics fan. Management should fear for their lives. Did they even stop being a non-profit organization at least, @nimic ? Let‘s hope so.
 
So who is in the Sonics now? Do I at least finally have Caf teammate?
 
It's you and some people I have never heard of, like Scott Padgett, Terence Morris, Calbert Cheaney, Jason Williams and Zydrunas Ilgauskas.

I'm going to make my son now :lol:

I forgot I'm in the East now and did a double take when I showed up.
 
Looking a lot more balanced.

Shame my team is so fecking shiet
 
Drat, I can't seem to get on a team with another star player. The weight of all these poor teams is making me old fast
