Ouch. I'm only ten minutes in, I've gotten slaughtered already. :(

That moment where you wake up and listen to your team get the award for "Worst Team in the League Ever" and then later suggested you're tanking.

Made my day lol!

I think we most definitely left out the tanking word. Haha

lol the podcast is great. And I'm not kidding it gave me a good laugh this morning. But yeah that's what I'm thinking it's not like he has been bring in a few wins each sim. I have 1. That was at the beginning and with people getting more comfortable with their teams and game plans I'm getting worse (point differential gets worse each sim too).

End of the day I really need to polish this turd of a team.

Amen

Great choice for the intro song!

yalll suck!!!!! enjoyed it though yeah i had a very ligth schedule so far kinda sucks cause i want to figure out my gameplan it will be my goal to take down houston this season and make a good run n the playoffs even if it is pretend lol

Yah great show guys. For the record, that trade wasnt a panic move. Granger isnt giving me what I needed yet. It was a this year move and if I decide to resign him is fantastic depth. I will now try Granger as my six man and see how that goes. He needed less pressure on him. I didn't think it was that horrible of a move. :hihi:

P.S. I guarantee I make the playoffs this year.

It's the ringtone I use for my alarm in the morning. Perfect start to my day. Perfect start to everything. Hence it's use here.

I like getting woken up to Howl - Beware of Darkness. Beginning is a great way to wake up.

Just listened to the rest. I'm just having fun in the league so I might be the only one on suicide watch smiling.

You got some slurpage, you'll love it lol

Great podcast again though, nice that y'all touched on everyone, but I wouldn't recommend it if you wanna keep it away from an hour. Not big on the name change (not as interesting as Quail Balls on a Tray) but I still like it. Great Job!

Yeah, I had 65 minutes worth of tape. Didn't want to cut the trade talks even though it was maybe the weakest segment left. The 29 teams were hard to get through in a short period of time. May limit ourselves to three each next time and really dive into those. Wanted everyone to get talked about.

And of course you like the original name. You aren't the one with quail balls on you.

...I have to say the Q-Boat short hand is funny though.

Can't listen to it for a bit. Did I get crushed?

Liked the podcast. Going through everyone was rough, but it's nice to do that. Maybe do it again at the trade deadline, but otherwise, I liked it.

Personally, I'm ready to put this Kenyon Martin thing behind me and the Trail Blazer's identity, that's for sure. lol

Liked the podcast again. Disagree with you guy's assessment on my trade but this is very entertaining. Good job again

Maybe I said I liked the Podcast too early. I'm about halfway through. Just past one of you not hating on BeeBall for getting Cp3 haha. Don't spoil it!

Did you say Nene at the three or did I mishear? I just traded him and now have Kirilenka at the 3 with Lebron at the 2 and Moiso at the 4

Yea they made a mistake. You traded Nene for AK47.

Ak47 at the 3 and James at the 2 should be interesting.

The nets are playing him at the 3.. My bad

yea last sim wasn't so good, but I didnt get any full games with Moiso playing. I guess he got hurt which left me with Funderburke playing 35+ minutes.

Oh damn i didn't know that. that will be interesting

Yea the kings aren't trying to get worse, that's impossible. They are trying to get assets and they get to start fresh with a team full of cap space this offseason I think Fred Jones will be a good scorer fro them honestly.

I agree it's nice to talk about each team, but makes it difficult for length. And it's much better to listen to you all talk in depth about specific teams (Hornets, Bucks) than try to rush through a team just mention them (selfish example: Celtics horrible injuries no depth don't like them)

Yeah I think we bit off more than we could chew in this episode. I'm glad there is still a positive reception of it but we will be a little more focused next time. The less editing I have to do the better.

Yeah I want to make sure that everyone understands what we were both trying to and not trying to say. The Kings are not good and they are so not good that Van Horn wasn't going to win them games. I am a full fledged supporter in what they are doing. Brandon should go too for that matter. Any assets you can acquire, I say go do it. There is a difference in tanking and what they are doing. Being as active as they are and justifying each move in the name of rebuilding should be good enough for everyone else. That is if it even mattered what everyone's opinions were in the first place.

Do your thing NOLa. We can blame this travesty on previous ownership.

It's all good guys I'm pretty relaxed and chill on internet boards so like I said it didn't bother me, plus the bit made for a good intro and my team actually got mentioned(Thanks for the shoutout Tray lol). Appreciate the support and hope to be active and competitive soon.

Enjoyed the show again. Thanks for the slurp. You guys made good points about the Rockets.

With the depth issue, I did trade Rogers and Etan who were productive, but I wanted to clear cap room for next season. I made a huge mistake not offering Keon Clark and Lamar Odom. They would have been upgrades over Thomas this season and next season. However, Samaki Walker is a nice consolation prize at PF. He's averaging 7 pts, 6 boards per game on 48% shooting and 74% from the free throw line. I trained his post defense as well and he's a B+ defensively.

Rogers really regressed from last season with his outside, inside, and defensive rating going down. He's playing better at PF for the Warriors, but I didn't need him at PF with Walker. Plus, he's signed for four seasons and is already 34. I moved Eddie Griffin to SF and he's playing solid right now and he's cheaper, younger, and a FA after this season. Plus, if Melo gets hurt again, I can move Manu to SF and start McKie at the PF.

My only regret right now is not offering Odom or Clark, but otherwise I'm cool with my team right now.

Enjoyed the show again. Keep up the good work.

Why did you have to do all the editing? And the length and time keeps coming up?

Are there time constraints?

Also, I think you need someone on who might not agree with every single thing. A little debate would be nice, but I emphasize little. This does not need to be first take.

I need to not post until I listen to the whole thing. I don't think I said I'd make the playoffs I thought I just said (hoped) I'd be .500 once shaq returns. And how can I have my gameplan set I got one full sim with Shaq.

Ouch Tray.. you know nothing about my team?

No one every predicts for me to make the playoffs, i've yet to see anyone pick me to win a playoff series, but I have been to 2 WCFs over the last 3 years and was within 1 game of it last year. I've also won more playoff games over the last 3 seasons than anyone not names the Hornets or Sixers.

Also, the issue with the Sprewell trade was brought up by ballsohard and I just want to say this about it.
a) I traded a load of crap to the Nets for Caron Butler, in exchange I had to pick up one of the worst contracts in the league in Milt.
B)Spree and Milt both make same amount of money, Sprees contract is one year longer but his is the much better player but I had to move one of the 2 contracts to avoid massive luxury tax.
C)Trade Spree to Milwaukee for 3 expiring contracts, thus saving me from huge lux tax.
D)Stuck with Milts contract I go back to Quailman and offer to exchange Milt for Spree. Therefore, money wise I come out equal; I just have to pay one more year. But I get the much better player for my bench.

Overall, I traded Milt Palacio to the Bucks for expiring contracts and therefore got Caron Butler (my best player) for free.

Solid moves. You have a lot of old guys who are really over paid on your team though.

Nick Van Exel and Glen Robinson are not overpaid. Glen Robinson for what he brings is one of the more underpaid players in the league... he is averaging 24-8 on great shooting this year. The only bad contract I have is Sprewell. I always lol when I see read that I have a bunch of overpaid guys. The reason my team is so underrated is because people don't realize just how good Van Exel and Robinson have been and currently are.

Look at the full length of the contract. Sure they aren't over paid now, but they are over paid in general.

Also I have you a ton of respect. Said no one ever picks you etc and all you do is win. Unpuff that chest bro
