Feels like a long time since I photoshopped my guy like that...

 

[altodevil]

Is this the end of the dynasty or a brief pause? Nene and Hinrich must be getting on a bit. What's the contract situation like?

 

[Solius]

Has my guy died from a brain hemorrhage yet?

Can probably just call it quits at this stage. Not much point continuing the chase for GOAT status when you've just been scientifically proven to be the second best player on the '99 Cavs.

 

[sebsheep]

4 games played. Closer to my games played in the playoffs than alto's

For Cafites:

For Lakers: No expiring contracts in your top 12 players. No expiring contracts in your starting 5 next year either. Age and decline is your only challenge.

For good measure, here are the Nets: No top 5 expiring contracts and top 3 players (after V.O.'s injury) are quite young.

 

[altodevil]

Carried by Derrick Rose

Draft Lottery for the upcoming draft:

Yes, this means that the #1 pick will go the team with the best record in the East (Boston), and the #2 pick will go to the team with the second best record in the East (Washington).

My offspring will not be as loyal.

My offspring will not be as loyal.

You've got MVPs, rings, All Stars, All NBAs, All Defensives, etc, so I wouldn't be too upset with your strategy. You have been extremely loyal to the Knicks, though. You've currently got the 10th most games for one team in NBA history, and you're joint 14th for most seasons (13). You're probably going to re-sign, so you might honestly get to joint 1st (17), or even set a new record.

 

[Dr. Dwayne]

Careful @V.O., that chick in the background eyeing you up looks to have a bad case of the mouth herpes.

 

[nimic]

Every single person in that picture looks like they were photoshopped in somehow.

 

[Dr. Dwayne]

It does have a weird Sgt. Pepper's vibe.

 

[weetee]

It's remarkable that V.O. even shopped the little iPhone screens to show the correct image.

But do I have my dignity?

sorry for being a whiney hammer bitch.

11/12 Season Review

Regular Season Standings

Playoffs

Season Awards

altodevil, The Cub and hobbers all make the All-Defensive 1st Team, with BenitoSTARR having to settle with the 3rd Team for the first time since 2004. He makes the All-League 1st Team though, together with P-Nut and hobbers. Solius and altodevil make the 2nd Team.

Yet again Kevin Durant is MVP, and I think this is something we have to get used to. altodevil as DPOTY is not surprising, but he might only have one or two more in him. He might also look at Drew Gooden being named Most Improved Player and rue the fact that Gooden was traded from the Lakers at the start of the season.

Hope I'm right because that'll be a very young roster and getting rid of Kobe will set us free

2012 Draft and Free Agency

Draft

Free Agency

BenitoSTARR has re-signed with his beloved New York Knicks for $15.3M/yr through 2017
reelworld II has left the Denver Nuggets and signed with the Milwaukee Bucks for $16.7M/yr through 2017
Skizzo has left the Indiana Pacers to ring-chase with the Boston Celtics for $500k/yr through 2015

Trades

@V.O. (Nets) - the champions are future proofing. They sure do love PGs.

@hobbers & @Skizzo (Celtics) - more future proofing, let's see if it pays off.

@Dan & @The Cat (Pistons)

@Solius (Grizzlies) - getting rid of a Point Guard for an equal Forward/Center can't be a bad move when Solius is a PG himself.

@oneniltothearsenal & @P-Nut (Kings) - sure, why not?

I don’t know what this means.

I don’t know what this means.

It means we might make it past the 2nd round ... the year after next ...

Some trades since last time:

SebJr (Heat) - this is not a team trying to be very good right now

Dan and The Cub (Pistons) - Detroit making moves!

Pre Season Power Rankings - the East is stacked, again! This might still change as long as the trade window is open.

What happened to TwoNil?

Do I have to wait another season?

If you want we can pretend old oneniltothearsenal got a big injury, and then just retire him immediately. You won't be in the draft (it's already done), but some teams do have some money to sign TwoNil.

 

[sebsheep]

My team isn't rebuilding shit

 

[altodevil]

Rip Nene. Time for some team friendly deals boys to get another star in

 

[weetee]

My team isn't rebuilding shit

I hear you. Mine was rebuilding feck all, now dropped in the rating but suddenly we‘re about to be contending? Delusional

 

[Solius]

9th in Power rankings - that's good?
Rebuilding - that's bad?
I somehow got better? - that's good
Improved team - oohhh

 

[nimic]

 

[weetee]

@nimic am I reading the stat correct that I was the sharpest 3p shooter last season?

 

[Solius]

Does this only happen when a player retires? Or am I already HoF?
