Do I play for the Utah Jazz or Manchester United?
 
Come on someone trade to me so I can finally get somewhere
 
Interest sapped because I've dominated. Sorry nimic. I still like it though.
 
11/12 Draft and Free Agency
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.

Can't even remember the last time my team did a proper trade
 
Marvin williams return right? First trade good, second trade bad. But strange given we are clearly still win now mode.
 
11/12 Season Preview
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...
 
I'm meant to be peaking now as everyone else gets old and I'm going down, plus on the worst side in the league.

@hobbers - Boston Celtics (51-31, 2nd Round)

hobbers might have begun feeling the creaking in his bones, but his skills are still up to snuff. He's also helped along by the fact that his teammate Yi Jianlian took a hefty step forwards over the summer. Is this finally the year?


@Samid - Charlotte Bobcats (16-66)
rteM88T.png

D9N9nKl.png


I can tell you one thing about Samid: he's going to score some points. I can tell you another thing: he's not making the playoffs this year with Charlotte.


@Skizzo - Indiana Pacers (43-39, 1st Round)
PbgLH3R.png

MuYcR6v.png


Skizzo's Pacers aren't the worst team around, but it's hard to see him making the playoffs again this year. The man himself seems to have stabilized at a still-playable level, but his hopes of superstardom have probably left for good.


@weetee - Atlanta Hawks (30-52)
JYywGRe.png

YUeOXMF.png


weetee's Hawks shouldn't be very good, but there's actually a chance that they are. They don't have any superstars, but they've got plenty of perfectly decent players. If they stay healthy that might just be enough to make a fair playoff run. weetee himself is still getting better. Well, slightly better.


@V.O. - Net Jersey Nets (54-28, 2nd Round)
AqWjgmT.png

XR45hfT.png


V.O. is now only the 3rd best player on the Nets, after Rose and Korolev, but that results in a team with three very good players. Hell, C.J. Miles as the 4th is quite good, and while the big acquisition Eddy Curry took a large step backwards over the summer, he's still no slouch. V.O. is also looking for a ring, and this might be his best chance yet.


@Salt Bailly - Toronto Raptors (39-43, 1st Round)
1Oq25Hi.png

XDqbNtO.png


Salt Bailly is now 34 years old, which everyone who has passed that age knows is the point when your body starts yearning for the sweet release of death. He seems to be soldiering on, though. His Raptors made a shock run to make the playoffs last season, but I wouldn't expect a repeat this season. Not that I expected it last season, so who knows?


@BenitoSTARR - New York Knicks (39-43)
nqAxuWJ.png

5ESu469.png


The Hammer is rusting. BenitoSTARR is still a very good players, but with the ascendancy of Kevin Durant and starting his own slow decline, he's probably won his last MVP. 5 is a very good number. He's still looking for a ring, which is still not completely out of the question despite missing the playoffs last season. Also he's only 30, which is hardly ancient.

@Dan & @The Cat - Detroit Pistons (37-45)

We've got the future and the past in beautiful harmony on the Detroit Pistons. Dan is in his 17th year as an NBA player, and it's starting to show. He might still have one decent season in him, so fingers crossed. The Cub, on the other hand, surely has a long career ahead of him. He's taking leaps forward too, and might start challenging old altodevil for the Defensive Player of the Year title some day soon.


@sebsheep - Miami Heat (41-41, 1st Round)
Mcnq3eH.png

3J5g5vc.png


SebJr is another one with a bright future ahead of him. He's still only decently good, but he's already gotten quite a bit better since last season. He's also got plenty of time to improve further. We'll see what his Miami Heat do this season, but another playoff visit isn't completely out of the question.

The heat isn't doing much for my sunburn.
Hopefully will keep up the good progress.

I can see it with how the game works.
