Those were fair deals. I was willing to overpay short term since I had the cap room.

Overall I'd give it a solid B. Maybe take a real picture and use paint on top it gives awesome results.

What about if I took a photo of this picture and then editted the photo of this picture in paint? It would be artistic on multiple levels

Depending on the quality of camera you have I'd say this is an adequate approach. But with such an artistic piece you really don't want to cut corners and sacrifice quality.

Is that 6 mil per year for Bradley? Thought I offered 3 per.

Nice, Pollard is big. Good backup center...

Ward is almost a staple on the bench, and larry johnson on the backup 3

6total

I had to settle for paying Samaki Walker 8 million this season :hihi:

Damn Murray really took 1.2 rather than the MLE I offered. Kinda crazy.

Yeah its only a one year deal and he fits what I needed in a PF. A good defender and rebounder. I'm gonna train his defense after training camp to make him a A- defender.

Did I miss something how the sonics get all those players?

just 7 players on my roster. have to be quick with the post button on in-season free agency

Yah same here. I offered murray over 3 mil more. That's a lot of money. Someone like Murray wouldn't past that up. Makes no sense.

Darn, all the good backups are gone. I'd better hope that no one gets injured, otherwise it's curtains for me.

There's a few gems out there still

Which Murray is everyone fighting over?

are we getting a training camp sim and an Index update too?

That's what I'm curious about because if it's Lamond it's much adieu about nothing.

You can sign Min deals to fill a roster.

If you are over the cap, you can sign players to 1 MLE, 1 LLE, and unlimited (well until you hit your max roster spots) vet mins

Better question where is the all star game located this year because my whole team will need hotel reservations there #ThingsRocketsGMwouldSay

Ha now that's good ****.

The moment where all of the guys I brought in play Pf/C

In season FA starts at 8PM, not a second sooner. Use the time at the bottom of the board.

Training camps tonight or tomorrow? wanna screenshot my team pre-/post-...

No not a big deal, just trying to figure out how a player of his caliber turns down an MLE. And rather takes a small deal on a team with three players. ... the mysteries of sim league

Ah **** things are going to get serious at 8 tonight.

Should have asked for Vin Baker

Everything is updated, including camps.

Oh ****, so preseason camps already happened then?

Etan's defense went up to A-, Felton is a beast and Boozer's defense is better as well. pretty solid training camp.

Can someone PM me a screenshot of my team's ratings?

ohnosono, inbox

Josh Smith didnt manage to grow at all while Jay Williams improved tremendously.

cleared.

thanks for the info

Wow I'm very happy. Beans and Tsak improved greatly! Kenyon appears to have declined slightly. Not good there. And Deron potential went to a B which is pretty effed up IMO. But overall I'm happy.

Arenas is a God.

B- A B+ A C-

AW YEAH

Its clear I ****ed up another off-season with a different team. It sucks that I suck at GMing. I'll use this off season as a Tyson punch to the head to be a smarter and better at this game. Some serious **** is about to go down to make up my terrible off-season. Hopefully I can label myself as one of the better GMs which will be difficult.
