2004 NBA Free Agency - Sources!

I don't have a problem w either.

I think we could probably remove the "weight room" option. I'm not sure if it will ever be used. I could be wrong though.

What time is Walking dead?

I think it's over.

So sim soon>?!

Can someone explain to me the training or developing of players? When does that take place and how does that work? I have 40 points don't know if that is even enough for anything.

Before the regular season starts, or during the all star break, you can pay a set amount to improve a player in a specific category. It can be done after training camp, but has to be done before the regular season starts.

I really think it should be like NBA 2k so every team no matter your build has a chance to acrew points. I think the game by game system favors the guys who are great. I propose a new system:

Post Season- Team Goals (can only pick one):
1. Win the championship 30 points
2. Make the playoffs 10 points

Regular season Team goals
Win Division 10 Points
20+Game winning streak 10 points
10-20 Game winning Streak 5 Points

For teams rebuilding:
Improve record from last year by 10 Games: 5
Improve Record by 20+ Games: 15
Improve Record by 30+ games: 20


Player Oriented Season Goals:
(Can only pick one per player)
1. MVP: 23 Points
2. Player Named to All NBA team: 7 Points
3. Player Named to All NBA Second or Third team: 4 Points
4. Player named DPOY: 15 Points
Player averages Double Double for the season (Min 60 games): 10 Points
Player leads League in Scoring, Rebounds, Blocks, Steals or Assist: 7 Points
Player in top 5 Scoring, Rebounds, Blocks, Steals or Assist: 5 points Can only pick this or the above)
Rookie Plays 30+ MPG 3 Points (Max 2 rookies per team) 15 Points (Thought behind this is this team won't be acrewing points like normal NBA points)
Rookie of the year: 15 Points
Player Named to All star Game: 5 Points

Named GM of the year: 10 Points
MIP: 5 Points

Training
Rookies with A Potential get 2 Training Sessions and can only be used once a year starting After their rookie year.
Rookies with B potential get 1 Training Session and can only be utalized at the end of the first year. `
- Inside Scoring 30 Points
- Jump Shot 40 Points
- Three-Point Shooting 40 Points
- Ball Handling 25 Points
- Passing 25 Points
- Stealing 25 Points
- Shot Blocking 25 Points
- Post Defense 30 Points
- Perimeter Defense 25 Points
- Drive Defense 25 Points
- Offensive Rebounding 25 Points
- Defensive Rebounding 25 Points

NOTE: Not all camps will produce the same increase, but no camp will produce a negative change in a category. You can only do this in the offseason or during the All-Star Break. You cannot train a player more than once in a season, and you cannot train a player more than three times in their career.

**i think we changed the cost of jump shot to 35 points.**

Thanks soundwave, is this something that we have to PM the commish like the FA bids or will a thread be made?

I think PMing commish is best option. Then remove points from bank.

76ers: Bob Sura, Walter McCarty, Anthony Johnson
Bucks: Gary Trent, Larry Johnson, Eduardo Najera
Hornets: Al Harrington
Knicks: Adrian Griffin, Joel Pryzbilla, Lamond Murray
Lakers: Shawn Bradley, Robert Horry, Bryant Reeves, Michael Dickerson
Mavericks: Dan Langhi
Raptors: Kareem Rush
Timberwolves: John Amaechi

Lakers signed 4 good players while be over the cap!!!!! Wow!!!

I couldn't imagine FA going much better than it did for me. I got really lucky. Think my offseason was an A+. Excited to start the season.

Speaking of starting, when are we looking at for the rest of the offseason commish?? All we should have left is Crazytown banana-pants Free Agency and Training Camp

Commish says it starts at a certain time, then you post who you want in the Free Agency Forum (as opposed to PM'ing the Commish). If you post it before it doesn't count and if someone beats you to a player, oh well. It's pretty fun honestly

And we go by the clock on the bottom of the page, so sync your watches.


I get to be a spectator again also. I'm so glad I haven't had to do this for the past 2 seasons now.

Looks like it did, and it worked out well for me. Miller's outside shooting went up and so did Kenyon's Rebounding. Both my biggest areas of concern that I would have been targeting to train.

Donyell turned to a monster a defense and a- rebounding at the 3 ?!?!. So did Jason Williams and Ben Wallace (a rebounding ) for me.

My big potential guys all improved marginally and then their potential went to C. I don't think Swift improved at all...

Have we gotten a confirmation. Was that actually training camp? Thought that happened later?

antonio daniels would be a nice starting pg for someone.. nets should make a play on him

Iggy got worse for inside scoring, but handles went up, Currys rebounding got better, Ridnour improved across the board, and west also got better.

Yes it was, I forgot that it happened after that sim.

If you want to train, you still have til the season starts.

tmac should be a top 3 scorer this year.. lebron will be ridiculous as well

Tmac has to split w wade so I dinno

i know but double A offense is crazy.. courtney alexander is hindering the clips from becoming amazing.

D wade and Randolph . Yeah that Alexander contract is terrible.

So a rookie can't be increased until after their first year?

Well this kinda sucks. My trade wasnt processed prior to the FA sim :/

RJ's outside game that I improved last year went down to C+, and the only improvement I got was Yao's rebounding :idoh: My players never develop

Keep in mind, training camp is different than training a player. Most rookies will improve somewhat (little bit) during camp anyway. You can't train a certain aspect (at least for free from their potential) til after their rookie season.

Thanks that answered my question.

Also when a new GM takes over a team do the points just slide over? Because I just used the last refreshed points that the last guy had but he hadn't refreshed them since December. So I'm maybe thinking he didn't get his end of season stuff. Just curious, I don't wanna leave points on the table.

Whatever points he had logged are yours. As far as points he hasn't logged, you have to be able to go back and find the old box scores and link them. That is going to be very hard if not impossible to do.

You're probably ****ed on that front. However if he has any awards from the end of the 2003 season, some awesome gentleman here keeps track of the Individual Awards through the season. I'd look there to see if you have any all stars or any of the other awards. It should be on the first page of Sim League Central

Here's my question about the new rookie training

At what point in time is the potential we are using. Right after draft? After first year? After first training camp?

For instance, Kris Humphries had a C when drafted (not 100% sure on that) but has a B potential now.

I was able to do it when I got the Raptors. I don't remember exactly how I found them though. It was mid season and I think I was able to click on the League Schedule tab at the top of the index and all the dates were highlighted. I remember that the dates we hadn't made it to yet would pull up the previous season's games (only about half the season worth).

Problem is, last season you couldn't click on those dates at all. I don't know if I got luck and found a glitch or whatever or if I got there some other way but it did happen.

I thought Humphries was a b. yeah that's a good question since it changes so much.

Thanks...but you look at my team. The word "star" isn't in any of my players' vocabulary!! :hihi:
