Season > Draft Preview

This game hates TJ Ford.
I think that Lebrons D and rebounding should both be higher.
I don't . He's 18. He wasn't a renown defender coming into the league.
In other news, you can now bid on two fake fakes in this year's free agency.
can't wait to see the tankers get rewarded with young superstars.
No because you are making moves and improvements to your team. You took back 2 decent players in that trade.
Magic traded away his best PF and his Star SF for kibbles and bits... while owning his own 1st round pick. He hasn't even tried to sign/pick up good talent (you saw who he bid on during FA). THAT is tanking.
Purposely fielding a bad team is different from rebuilding. That theory is confirmed once the alleged tanker continues to use a gameplan that has failed him throughout the season. I don't consider what you're doing as tanking. You tried to field a competitive team.
It'll come back and bite them in the arse sooner or later, trust me.
Basically it comes down to this, what are you getting back in the deal? You have guys who are moving their best players and getting assets back, then you have guys who are moving their best players and getting nothing in return. That's the difference.
To be fair, busta has admitted to it. Doesn't make it any better, but atleast he's honest.
You have coltsguy who has basically said he traded Jamison because he was an expiring and was afraid of losing him, and the deal gave him the most cap space to try and resign him in FA. What?
That's good to hear. I mean, I definitely see what people are saying about some people. But to me, it just didn't make sense to continue to play sub-500 ball with a guy who made 11 million a year. Might as well get the assets I can and try to improve through the draft. Sure, I want Wade or LeBron. Who wouldn't? But I tried my best not to do it in any sort of underhanded way.
You also kept Tyson Chandler, Stromile Swift, and Mike Miller. if you were fire selling them for pennies on the dollar then you'd probably be accused.
So in the future, if I plan on tanking, I should be open about it? :confused:
You shouldn't do it at all, have some respect for the game and your fellow GM's.
Hypothetical question but I do agree with you.
Oh I know lol, I didn't literally mean "you."
Just to freaking prove I'm not tanking, I'll put both of my picks up for trade when he time comes. It's gonna take a **** of a good offer, but I'll trade one. You guys can hold me to it. Maybe I'm just a crappy GM, but I really did think I was getting a good deal. Also, why in the world would I not want to get more picks and young players for Jamison? I offered Jamison for AK47 and a first, but was shot down.
LOL, AK47 is so overvalued in this league... it's unreal.
You have people you've told you're doing this. You bid on fake fake, you continuously submit the same lineup after you started losing. This is what you should figure out in life and in turn the game. Your actions are what people believe. You can say "I'm not freaking tanking" until you're blue in the face. People with half a brain can see through your empty words. Your actions aren't even veiled enough to make anyone second guess what you're doing. Please stop because it's embarrassing and flagrant.
Okay, whatever sure, I'm tanking. Does that make you guys happy? The fake fake thing was stupid.
That's why no one believes you man. You SCREAM that you aren't tanking but nearly every move you have made since last offseason SCREAMS TANKING. So you might be saying that you aren't but it definetly looks like you are. Using the "Maybe I'm just a crappy GM" as a cover is what it looks like. I agree with the others that all the obvious tanking has taken away from the league too. And to be rewarded with a high pick(s) in one of the best drafts sours a lot of the other GM's the way you and some others went about it by cheating the system. Then you want to come in here and suggest that Lebron's ratings be upped even more. Come on man.
But, seriously can I ask you guys. Why would I do this trade if I could have gotten young talent and picks instead? I tried to get a better deal.
We don't know why you did the deal but it looks fishy. You said you couldn't do better than what you got but that's BS too bc multiple ppl have said they offered you much better. I tried to send you an offer on Jamison and you said you weren't looking to trade him. What your saying and what your doing don't match up.
This and I'll just say it and call the guy out, coltsguy and busta really have tainted this season and it sucks. Play your best team and do your best to win and let the chips fall where they may. I also love how busta is trying to move up in the draft when the lottery hasn't even happened yet. I can only hope they both miserably fail at the lottery and end up with 2 players that don't pan out.
Maybe it's just because I don't have a pick this year, but I'm pretty unimpressed with the draft . I mean, since potential has proven to be more of a random factor than anything........
I still need someone to explain to me why my team sucks...
Also someone explain Matt Bonner's ratings...
Yeah, if you take potential out of the equation, there are guys who I know of as benchwarmers and role players in real life right up there with guys like Bosh & Anthony in terms of ratings.
And can't we purchase slight increases in potential in the league shop?
Can I just say, I've loved the league so far, but the 03 draft makes me really excited. 2003 draft was when I really got into the NBA after the inaugural season for the Hornets
As far as player ratings go for this draft here are a few of my suggestions
Carmelo Anthony Defense from C+ to C- or D+
Mickael Pietrus Outside from C to C+ or B-
David West Rebound from C to C+ or B-
Kendrick Perkins Rebound from C+ to B- or B
You asked for our opinion so heres mine. just a few minor tweaks. But I understand they are all rookies too.
