Trade Deadline standings update and trade moves

First of all, here are the standings as of the trade deadline.

The Spurs have a problem, since @hobbers has fractured his ankle, and it's already seen him out for maybe 15 games, and he'll likely miss 20-25 more. Without him they are... not good.

Anyway, let's get to some trade news. None of you were traded season either, but some of your teams still made moves around you. You'll get to decide for yourselves whether those were moves of ambition or moves of submission. I'll tag those of you whose teams were involved, because I can't bear you going one day without giving me attention.

The game tracks how the trades went, for example by measuring the total amount of WS (Win Share) generated by the players involved in the trade. Don't read too much into it, since some trades just happened.

Finally, I'd like to reveal the Final Boss of this season, a team which none of you are lucky enough to be on: Chicago Bulls. Just something to consider before you go on settling this season amongst yourselves.

So, we were complete dogshit forever, added a 3-shooting PG to the team (literally the only thing we didn't need), and now we're actually quite good?

I don't think I understand basketball. :(

Actually, you are by far the longest serving player on the team, so everything else has been replaced. 3 of your fellow starters only joined this year, and one of those (Nazr Mohammed) just now came in a trade. I think you had a serious lack of Centers before. Also everyone got better and you got a lot better. In sum, that means wins!

Ah, sweet. Seems there's been more upheaval than I'd registered.

Is @Skizzo getting minutes at SG, or are me and him just being rotated for the PG spot?

He's getting around 30 minutes per game, while you're getting 40, but you're the star so that makes sense. I think he might be playing SG because you're getting all the assists. At the same time you're also leading the entire league in scoring (and both 2 and 3-point attempts), so you're taking most of the shots too.

Not too shabby!

Can't believe me and @altodevil on the same team went absolutely nowhere when we should be the perfect complement to each other.

I’m going to hammer the Bulls so hard the new phrase won’t be “Take life by the horns” it will be “Twat the bull with a feck off hammer”
 
I swear we're around that place at this point every season before squeezing into the playoffs.

Ok that Bulls team is disgusting, young too.
 
@nimic what's with that salary c(r)ap .. and the fact we're not meeting it for some years now. Can see others being a wee bit upset about it down the line. Good thing we're not crushing the conference as it stands.

If your team is over the salary cap they may only sign players to the minimum wage, except for re-signing players (so don't worry, you'll get paid). If the team gets over a certain amount they have to pay an increasing amount in luxury tax. I'll include a financial overview on the All Star update, but basically you guys are spending as much more than #2, as they are spending more than #29. You're still probably making a profit since Seattle aren't actually spending that much on facilities and stuff. But if you stop winning it will get ugly.

I'm going to have split this update in two, for... reasons.

First a regular season update:

Slam Dunk Contest

QPImmGu.png


@BenitoSTARR & @Salt Bailly were involved, but sadly still no Cafite winner. You're all three-point shooting scum. Speaking of which...

oJfDXb3.png


@Samid, @BenitoSTARR, @P-Nut, @reelworld, @Solius, @V.O. Quite a bunch this year. One of you better win.

Round 1 (4 advance)
or
"you bastards"

Chauncey Billups: 22
Michael Finley: 24

Really good shooting so far.
SmTbDra.png


reelworld with the 19, he's the first confirmed to be out.
njmgvXb.png


28 for Solius means V.O. needs at least 28 to force a tiebreak.
kZa1yKs.png


He did it! That means a tiebreak of all the 28-ers, Samid, Solius, V.O & BenitoSTARR. 3 to advance, so we'll lose another Cafite here.

Tiebreak
JtgvjkZ.png


Normally not a bad start, but everyone involved shot better last round.
jVNglQy.png


29!
EWgHFkO.png


Another 26, that means V.O. needs at least a 26 to advance. If he gets more we'll have another tiebreak with Solius and Samid.
cbKP2vJ.png


V.O. is through together with BenitoSTARR and P-Nut. We'll have to have a second tiebreak to decide who goes through of Samid and Solius. Will we lose the winner of the last contest already in the first round?

2nd tiebreak
dNqF8cO.png


Ooh, 25 is good but not great. Surely Solius won't choke.
6HcaNUj.png


For feck's sake, why are you making me take so many screenshots? I didn't sign up for this. To the third tiebreak we go.

3rd tiebreak
0aVd6B2.png


Samid and Solius have both shot worse and worse. Will Solius continue the decline, or will he save me from another tiebreak?
D7zbsZC.png

Oh thank god. Solius goes on to Round 2. Which I'll have to put in a separate post entirely since I can only do max 20 images per post.

Look at this shit
cw5aaaL.png

Rest of the 3-Point Contest and the All Star Game coming up a bit later.
 
I cannot read any of that? I’m on mobile I have no idea what happened. But how the feck am I in a slam dunk contest with 19 dunk skill?
 
After this playoff run I dont want to sign with the Heat again. Jealous of the Caf partnerships so I want a team that wants the best all around player in the NBA

Round 2
SsZIZMF.png


Good start by our rookie, but is it enough to get into the final round?
NnqvDPa.png


@BenitoSTARR is a veritable veteran at this point, and 28 could well be enough to put him in his 4th straight final round.
qOafYmk.png


@V.O. with the untimely misses, that means he's out. Now we only need to avoi-
vQKjF6O.png


I will cut you @Solius, I swear to god.

Tiebreak
pkhVipx.png


May @P-Nut have saved his final round appearance with that last set?
NXwRL7u.png


The first perfect shooting of the evening. I guess Solius has had a lot of practice today. That means it's - yet again - BenitoSTARR vs. Solius for the shooter crown.

Final Round
LSzSHHB.png


26 would be good for most, but it's the worst BenitoSTARR has shot today. Solius has shot 30, 28 twice, 27, 26 twice and 25, so who the feck knows what's going to happen.
aVVHTb3.png


And we have our second repeat winner! That makes two for Solius and two for BenitoSTARR out of the Cafites. Are the rest of you really going to let those two schmucks dominate this thing?

Final and full stats:

v6mUUqq.png

Okay, time for the All Star Game!

Let's take a look at the teams.

ZB3bniZ.png


@Solius, @altodevil, @Dr. Dwayne and @Stobzilla return for the West. @hobbers was selected but is still injured. Will Stobzilla get to play this time? Half the team plays his position. For the East we've got @BenitoSTARR, @V.O., @oneniltothearsenal and @reelworld, who gets his first all star appearance (the number to the right in the stats).

Finally, here's a sneak peak into what your teams are spending, and what they are spending on. Pay also attention to the "strategy" column, which indicates what your team is trying to accomplish. Someone should tell the Sacramento Kings that they currently lead the Western Conference.

Robbed of ASMVP, and now I find out that secretly all along the Sacramento ownership has had us training in a rented warehouse, coached by a recovering alcoholic who played high school basketball 25 years ago.

This fictional world is built entirely to torment and waste altodevils life.

Woe. Woe is me.

It could always get worse. Who do you not want to face in the playoffs?
 
Oh don't worry, he'll be back before the playoffs. And just to make it more interesting, the Spurs are currently the 6 seed and dropping, while you guys are the 2 seed.

I've said too much.
Stats or it didn‘t happen.

just k. You‘re doing gods work here..
